Challenge
Write a drabble (a story of exactly 100 words).
In Prose only, 100 words exactly, tell me a story. Fiction or fact, fantastical or realistic, just make it lean, mean, and punchy. No theme assigned this time, let's see what you can do without guidance. I'll choose the winner in June.
He's at our house every day. My mom has supper on the table at 4:30 in the afternoon these days, instead of 9 p.m. It's because we've had company the past few weeks-- my dad's childhood friend, then my grandparents, now this big-boned, baby-faced boy. He might love me; I think he does. Although, he told me when we were standing in the yard that his parents are getting a divorce, and that's really why he's here so much. I can't believe it. I've met his siblings, but not his parents. Apparently his mom has issues. Apparently she's like me.
