This weekend's Trifextra challenge: write a 33-word explanation of what scares you (or your character). I can handle psychotic clowns, serial killers and possessed dolls. But this truly scares the crap out of me:
“That’s it. You’re done with that kid.”
“No!”“Are you crazy? You just said he hit you!”
“I love him.”
“No, you don’t. You’re 15.
“But … I’m pregnant.”
(pause)
"Quick! Hide Daddy's gun!"
DISCLAIMER: The gun thing is tongue in cheek. I would probably say something similar in this scenario because smartassery is a coping mechanism for me. Hubs doesn't even own a gun ... yet. :)
