Hi everyone! Haven't been drabbling much lately, the real world's been keeping me busy and the muse has been distracting me with my other stories. Still, inspiration struck so here's my offering this week. Rather angsty but I hope you enjoy anyway! Please let me know what you think, good or bad.
Grocery Shopping
It's been three weeks since dad left. Now there's no food, no money… he hasn't eaten in days, been secretly living off of Sammy's leftovers. Now there's nothing left—not even for Sammy.
Desperate times have him breaking into the neighbor's house. Stomach growling at the sight of their full pantry, he fills his backpack with canned food. Suddenly the lights come on and he ducks out of sight.
"I've alerted the police," his neighbor warns angrily.
Panicked, Dean bolts, racing back to the hotel to look after his six-year old brother when all he wants to do is cry.
