Here’s my attempt for this week’s Fiction Friday challenge on the Write Anything blog, also submitted to the Friday Flash collection. The prompt was; While digging in a cereal box for the toy surprise, a child makes a grisly discovery. “Must you go rooting through the box like that, Tim?” Annie pursed her lips as her son plunged his arm deeper […]
