Friday Fictioneers (100 word story)-"Don't"

​ “Don’t touch that,” the lady shifted forward. “I’m warning you.”

To that point, she hadn’t moved or said a word but allowed me to carry trash bag after trash bag from her home. Having worked with hoarders, I knew this situation wouldn’t be much different.

"It looks like this bucket has been up here a long time, Ruby.” I stepped up the ladder. “It’s time to let it go.”

“Don’t,” she said. One simple word.

I pulled the bucket toward me and found it rather heavy. Once at eye level to peer inside, I turned and vomited on the floor.
