Each week G-Man of 55 Flash Fiction Friday entices us to compose a story using exactly 55 words. I challenge you to give it a try.
Timmy’s “step-dad” was drunk again. He could hear the blows, his mom’s pleadings. Tomorrow, dark glasses, makeup, and sleeves would cover the damage.
Cesar’s words: “neutered dog equals better dog.”
The monster would pass out soon.
Timmy made a practice swing with the 7-iron. He eyed the driver, smiling grimly. "Let the big dog eat".

whew. tight 55. i work with kids that have been abused...i imagine many of them have dreamed these words at some point.
Oh boy. I suspect that will wake him up, Timmy.
Man. Powerful stuff. A final solution. And Martina sang, "...roll the stone away, it's Independence Day". Sometimes the "RIGHT" thing is not the "BEST" thing. Thanks for a different look at justice.
Powerful and frightening ~ for all concerned. Well delivered.
My 55 is up HERE. Enjoy your weekend.
