Read chapter 21 or start from the beginning.
Chapter 22
Through the soapy window I could see the headlights of the black sedan pull up to the house. “Brogan, go up to your room and play for a bit, please”. I tried to keep my voice calm.
He found us. Or rather his lawyer did. I saw the dark clad figure approach, but the staccato knock still startled me. I finished cleaning the window before opening the door. “Ma’am. I’m here to deliver this. We’ll see you in court Monday morning.”
Game on.
“Brogan! Time to go!”
I have just two days left.

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. I am going to try to end this story with the next 4 pictures. July will be the last month. I wonder how it will end?

Thanks! I tried to make that soap on the window instead of ice. Hopefully it has the same effect 🙂 I didn’t want cold weather in the story. But I gotta work with what I’m given.

It does work, anyway… It really helped set the tone for the upcoming court date… dun-dun-dun! 🙂

LOL Good point. She didn’t know she only had 2 days when she cleaned the windows 🙂 (I was trying to interpret the window with something other than ice).
