He Won't Tell
100 Word Story | Drabble | Fiction
At thirteen, her parents were too strict. Or, so she thought. One night, when her father left the TV room to go take a leak, she knew she’d be safe for she’d hear the door open. She sat in her dad’s chair, took a gulp of his Coors, and a quick drag on his cigarette. She stood up and walked toward the kitchen.
She felt a presence.
She turned around.
Her father stared at her and frowned.
Their eyes locked. She froze, unable to move.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell your mother. But, don’t do that again.”
She never did.
