The cat had been his idea.
“It’s your turn to clean the litter box,” Megan says. She knows her words are as edentulous as the elderly family feline.
Greg frowns. “Aren’t the girls old enough for turns, too? They claim they love the thing desperately.”
And they do, but… “That’s not the deal we made when we adopted Mittens.”
Greg shrugs. “I’ll get to it later.”
He won’t.
Resentment clumps, then crystalizes, like dried cat pee in a neglected litter box.
Megan’s clenched teeth relax. Although she’d bought her daughters chocolate, she knows what she’ll put in Greg’s plastic Easter eggs.
Brilliant.
thanks so much!
thank you!
Hello L.M.
Yes, brilliant. 101 words that evoked the family dynamics so perfectly I felt my teeth clench while reading it.
thank you.
Great ending!

Sweet revenge!

Oh, that is so good! Loved the ending and as Cathryn said, brilliantly conveyed family dynamics, in so few words.
Marriage summed up in 101 words. Brilliant.
Excellent. Great twist, and quick reveal of characters.
Oh dear!
