As author of the thread setting the rules was of course your prerogative.
A few words over (or under) hardly makes it a novel; "approximately" 100 words may have attracted greater support.
But Mark, it's the whole point of the exercise to constrain the story to exactly 100 words - no more no less! It's not a 100 word story if it's 99, 101 or 120 words!
23rd June 2016: Decisions decisions. I really don’t know what to do. Government sent me a pamphlet saying how bad it will be if we leave. Leavers say it will be great don’t worry. Who to believe.

I had to google them, Jim as their show has never been broadcast here. Unfortunately, on my machine Win10 has no audio on YouTube.
How long had he been asleep - an hour, a year? There was no way of knowing. The darkness pressed in on him as a physical presence. Who was he – why was he here? Where was he? Eventually a spark of remembrance grew, small at first, but growing until it filled and dominated his entire being - until finally he knew why he was there and knew the mission he must accomplish.
With a shriek of anguished rage, the skeleton burst from its secret grave hidden deep in the wood, and strode forth to wreak vengeance on its murderer.
