(100 word flash fiction)
It had been raining that day when you ran from my arms and down
the driveway to the waiting school bus. So eager you had been to show off your
new raincoat, you had not even turned back to wave goodbye.
Every year, I bought new clothes for you just a little bit
bigger. Added one more candle to your birthday cake. Redecorated your room,
changed the posters. I hope you like Jennifer Lawrence.
They said you’re dead. But they didn’t find your body, did
they?
Today, there are 21 candles. Who could be at the door in
this downpour?
