The challenge was to write something in only 99 words and to include the words berries and music. It is 99 words on the button.

August 10: Flash Fiction Challenge
“Do you like berries Mole?” Hedgehog asked, emerging from the thicket to the sound of Sparrow’s morning music.
“Oh yes, especially plump and juicy ones!” Mole replied licking his lips.
“Then follow me” said Hedgehog, “I know a place where the juiciest berries grow!”
Hedgehog led Mole to a clearing where the bramble bushes strained under the weight of the dark fruits.
“I can smell them!” said mole excitedly, “Oh Thank you hedgehog!”.
As Mole devoured berries hedgehog crept slowly away, passing Fox at edge of the clearing.
“He’s all yours” Hedgehog snarled “I expect payment in full tomorrow.”

I also decided to tag this in a daily prompt because I think it’s a great fit…
Oh dear; I really shouldn’t be chuckling at this!

I rather enjoyed your animal traitor story. Moles are bastards and eat my garden, so I hope the Fox tore him up good and bloody! (PR)
