I was homeless;
I was abused;
I had
Motion sickness

Where was
I supposed
To be?
How was
I supposed
To be?

When I wasn't walking
I was
In a corner
All alone
Quietly resting
For a little while
And they came
To attack me

Is there
Any fairness
To see
The true reality?

Is this
How you treat
An abused homeless?

A suffering
Vulnerable human
With motion sickness?

What kind
Of a person
Would oppose
A homeless
This way?

A moral human
Wouldn't show
This kind
Of hate
With exaggerated lies
Against a homeless

Secret Of The Stones

June 6, 2022, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story that features stone-stacking. How does the activity fit into a story? Who is involved? What is the tone? Do the stones have special meaning? Go where the prompt leads! Click here for details.

Secret Of The Stones – by Hugh W. Roberts

“These stacked stones are where I buried Fluffy.

When I cried, Fluffy comforted me.

When I had nobody to talk to, Fluffy would always listen.

He was a big part of my life, but he shouldn’t have told me to keep our secret.

Things got a bit out of hand when I told my teacher, Mrs Price, the secret.

Fluffy got angry, so I had to kill him.

Now I come to the stacked stones and talk to him every day.

It’s a good job. Fluffy is only an imaginary friend; otherwise, we’d both be in lots of trouble.”

***

Written for the 99-word flash fiction challenge hosted by Charli Mills at the Carrot Ranch.
