It was recess when first grader Mary walked onto the playground.
Across the yard, four girls huddled around Jessica who pointed at Mary and whispered something. The girls giggled.
Mary noticed them. The look on her face turned to rage. She stormed over to Jessica, poked her and screamed: “What’s your problem?”
“Just telling them the truth!” Jessica answered.
“You’re a liar!”
Mary took her balled up little fist to Jessica’s nose. Jessica swung back. The whole schoolyard stopped to watch.
Later that afternoon, Mary and Jessica sat alone in detention, looking like they had just survived a war zone.
Ro's note: Since these are short, short stories I will be updating the site three times this week. Part 2 will be up on Wednesday then Part 3 on Friday. Thanks for reading!
And if you're interested in experiments with word counts, check out this blog. Jay started with six word fiction and has been doubling the count for each subsequent story.
