  The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory is a ground-based TeV
gamma-ray observatory in the state of Puebla, Mexico at an altitude of 4100 m.
Its 22,000 m$^2$ instrumented area, wide field of view ($\sim$2 sr), and >95%
uptime make it an ideal instrument for discovering gamma-ray burst (GRB)
emission at $\sim$100 GeV. Such a discovery would provide key information about
the origins of prompt GRB emission as well as constraints on extra-galactic
background light (EBL) models and the violation of Lorentz invariance. We will
present prospects for discovering GRB emission at $\sim$100 GeV with a simple,
all-sky search algorithm using HAWC data that is most sensitive to short GRBs.
The search algorithm presented here can also be used to detect other short
transients with timescales and fluxes similar to short GRBs.
