“Christmas tree, my Christmas tree…”
“Sonny, what are you doing?” asked Mother seeing the boy perched on a stool, taping the broken glass. “Who did that? Are you hurt?”
“Don’t worry mommy. Billy was trying to get in. But I fixed it.”
Sonny’s intense concentration on the task at hand was disconcerting. “Who’s Billy?” Mother asked gently.
Sonny smiled like he wasn’t all there. “Billy the bully mommy.”
A chill ran down her spine as she stared beyond the broken glass. “Are you sure? Billy…but Billy…”
“I know mommy. And now, he can’t come inside. See I fixed it.”
Written as part of the Friday Fictioneers hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. The idea is to write a 100-word story on a photo prompt. You can read the other stories here.
