A boy and his cars - A story in exactly 50 words
I wrote this for Justin Demming’s Along the Hudson. He challenges us to write a 50-word piece based on his prompt. This week’s prompt was CARS.
Hot Wheels
The child drives his red Porsche down his mommy’s arm and across their bedtime knees.
Vroom! Vrooooooom!
My boy will have cars when he’s older, she thinks.
Now, the vintage yellow Mustang and the blue Ranchero stand in his driveway, and mommy remembers his childhood pajama-driving with such longing.
True story😊
Ah, yes, they do tend to grow up.
