“Go! Go! Go!” the watchers screamed at the television screen, followed by a collective “Awwww!” as the referee stopped the play.
“The ref’s blind! They’d have scored in just another second.”

The screen filled with snow.
“Not n--” someone started to say as the room disappeared.

(The television screen shows static.)
#####
But on Anna's request, and since the rules did state "100 words exactly", I filled in the other 77 or so words, and moulded to fit. |
