Genre: Mainstream (but from the world of a paranormal series)

Word count: 100

Wind flings fall’s last leaves.

“That boy picked a doozy of a day to run off.”

Kass twists her braids between trembling fingers.

Uncle Walt pats her leg. Rain gushes.

“You look hard. Gotta watch this storm.”

“I am.”

Half a tree flies past them. Walt brakes to miss it.

Thunder rumbles the world.

“There he is.”

“Where?”

“By the tracks, with a trash bag on his head.”

Kass runs up the hill to get him. “Russell, where do you think you’re going?”

She grabs his hand. He pulls away. “Little Rock.”

“Come on.” She drags him to Walt’s pickup.

Cheers to your #BlissfulLife!
