Weekly Contest #94
If she had asked me to drop the ceramic Tupperware on the kitchen slab, I definitely would have said a “No! No!” Not because I didn’t want to, but that she had said so. She didn’t ask anyway, so I dropped it hard, it crashed to the floor. “Oops! That just happened,” I said, feigning regret. My stare remained firm and un-darting from the anger brewing over her face.

She wanted me to have the best grad present, and so I picked the sapphire glassed watch. “It was the perfect match for my eyes,” she had said. I thought so too. I thought she was the best aunt I could’ve asked for. I thought we got all the time in the world to make our own memories. But in honest truth, we didn’t. The little sapphire piece was snatched o...
