100-Word Fiction: Not-So-Original Prankster

If only he’d stuck to gluing pound coins to the floor.

But no, he had to go further, and Manchester Printworks on Sunday morning was perfect for it.

Placing a small baggy of washing powder on the ground, he stepped back and waited.

“Excuse me son,” said the bemused policeman, “are those your drugs?”

When all you’ve got is a childishly idiotic excuse, it turns out that walking around with 20 bags of white powder gets you into quite a bit of trouble.

It’s also why everyone on the wing greets James with a daily, infuriating catcall of, “Alright Daz!”
