Here's a second story snippet inspired by this image:
He added the key at the assembly line. It was an easy matter of a few seconds’ time. Just press the buttons to stop the machines, drop the key ring over the steel wire, step back and turn the machine back on.
He wondered where the key would end up. He wondered if the fence crew who ended up with this length of chain-link fence would notice it or, if they did, what they’d do with it.
That night, when he came home, he wasn’t surprised to be eating carpet seconds later. A knee pressed into his back.
“Give me the key,” said the man holding him down.
“Don’t have it,” he said honestly.
