Ping! Letterbox… Thwack! Liquidambar…
Matt an’ me were slingshootin’ in the front yard.
There was a shatterin’ of glass and crunchin’ of metal.
The newspaper reckoned the driver hit the light pole and died at the scene.
We argued over who shot the stone, then never spoke of it again.
Growing up, slingshooting was a fun pastime for Melanie until one day she may or may not have caused someone to receive a serious injury…
Melanie, I’m sure we’ve all done something we wish we could undo. Nicely phrased.
Thank you, Alex ☺.
Definitely a deadly story. Love the sudden twist and seedy resolution, reminds me of when I used to throw rocks lol.
Amazing short story Mel
Thank you for the wonderful compliment, Addison 😀
Another brilliant, funny, yet dark story Mel! Brings back memories! Looking forward to reading more of these😊
Thanks Megan. I find it can be challenging to confront some memories from my youth…
A really thought – provoking story Mel. To think that was my favourite game😂 An enjoyable read! Good work !
No doubt a favourite game before computers/internet, Michael? Thank you for the encouraging comment 😀
Fantastic story Mel, keep them coming! I have a hunch that it wasn’t Matt who shot the stone…
