Read the last chapter or start from the beginning.
Good friends are great for pointing out flaws we try to justify. Ione was definitely a great friend. Over our cups of tea we reminisced about the good old days.
“Remember that private charter boat we won? That’s when I knew Dempsey wasn’t the kind of father he said he’d be.” She told me.
“I remember. Brogan was only a couple months old.”
“He loved that boat, though. Nothing like being on the water to put a baby to sleep.”
The feeling of my baby boy asleep in my arms brought tears to my eyes. “Then I gave Brogan to Dempsey so I could pee.” The image of my return and seeing Dempsey dangling my baby boy by his ankle over the water made me sob uncontrollably.
This is a continuation of an experiment. Each week there is a 100 word short story photo prompt challenge posed by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. My challenge to myself is to connect these photos into one seamless story. Click the blue frog to read other stories inspired by this photo.

That made me want to sob uncontrollably, too. At least she has support and a way out.
Will your narrator ever have a name? 🙂

Nope. I considered giving her a name in the beginning. Then decided to leave her “Faceless”. She could be any one of us. Does she have a way out? 🙂

Well, I see the fact she has friends and people on her side as at least a good start. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens to her in the end…

I have a hunch Dempsey’s not done with her, yet 😉
