Better Things to Do by RodG
Flash 100 writing prompt entry

Jimmy Purdy sprawled in the uncut grass at the top of Sled Hill in Hoover Park. The Middle School was within sight, a soccer field and a reed-filled bog away.

He and Fuggs, his black-and-white spotted pup, were sharing a sandwich though lunchtime was three hours away. His left hand held the string of a red kite spinning upwards towards the lazy clouds.

A warm breeze tousled his shaggy brown hair, teasing a smile out of the 11-year-old.

"Yeah, Fuggs, it's the first day of school down there, but I doubt that new teacher or my classmates will miss me."


Writing Prompt
Write a flash fiction story. But you can only use 100 words. Exactly. Title does not count in the word count.
