Universe: ATF
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Challenge: Write a drabble about the first day of school.
Author's Note: Written last April for the first "M7M" challenge. I lost my original copy when my laptop hard disk died, but I managed to dig up a copy on the web, and decided that I needed to post this somewhere permanent.
It was also the first fanfic that I had written in more than five years... I thought that 100 words would be easy! Hah!

"Mother?"
Seven year old Ethan Somers was unsurprised to receive no answer. The house was far darker than it should have been at three in the afternoon, but clouds had been slowly gathering all day.
He had hoped that Mother would be waiting here. She would make him a snack, and ask about his day.
An unlikely fantasy.
He had eaten lunch alone, quietly watching a game of kickball. It was not a new experience, not after six schools in three years, but it was one that never improved.
Ezra curled up by a window and watched the storm break.
