Outside The Box
by thegooddoctor in 100 Words
Annie is missing. “Not in her room,” Mom said. “Can’t find her outdoor
shoes,” noted Dad. “Maybe she fell into a humongous puddle,” quipped
younger brother. Older brother was silent. Two guinea pigs madly
threaded wheels. Crows lined the backyard fence squawking at the
house. “Bet she’s at a friend’s,” said Dad. “Maybe a monster snatched
her,” younger brother grinned. “That’s enough young man,” asserted
Mom. “We need to think OUTSIDE the box,” Dad stated. “Maybe someone
put her INSIDE a box,” giggled younger brother. “Hush!” yelled Mom.
Older brother emerged: “Annie’s in my bedroom closet with an imaginary
friend.”

‘You used my envelope,’ Cian stated
‘You weren’t using it!’ his brother Padraic replied.
‘It’s my fecking envelope.’
‘There’s a draw full of envelopes!’
‘I wanted that one,’
‘It sat on the kitchen table two weeks and you didn’t touch it you fucker ya!’
‘But I was going to and I paid for the feckin’ thing!’ Cian yelled, whilst swigging some Paddy’s.
‘I’ll give you the money,’
‘I don’t want the feckin’ money, I want me envelope back.’
