Run Little Rabbit, by Mary Wallace

4/9/2020

 
He moved across to the window, gently pulling the curtains aside and watched the house across the street. Yesterday she came outside with her head bowed, trying to hide a black eye.

He could see the gap in the venetian blind as she looked for the school bus. A children's book in the window was their code; Your father is still home! Go to Nana's. "Run Little Rabbit" screamed its warning.

The blinds were jerked violently. Bashing her again, probably. He's going to kill her one day. Someone should do something. He shook his head and closed his curtains.

Brilliant, Mary. 'All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing' :(

Nobody should turn a blind eye but so many do. Kudos on a timely tale, Mary that should jog the conscience.

This is gut wrenching, and a sad tale that is a little too true too often. And too many blind eyes out there.
Nicely done.

Well expressed, Mary. A sad commentary on domestic violence and a typical reaction of today.

    "Classic"
    100-Word
    Stories

    Since Friday Flash Fiction began in September 2013, 100-word stories have remained its 'beating heart'.

    Normally, 100-word stories are scheduled for 07.00 BST (GMT in the winter) on the following Friday. However, where a large number of stories (more than 25) are due to be published on the same day, we publish a second batch around 10.30am.
    Recently, we've welcomed a lot of newcomers and found that even two batches doesn't cover them all. Wherever that happens, we'll simply be publishing 'as and when' during the course of the day.


    Each week we pick a story or (occasionally) a poem as 'Editor's Choice'.
    It's a personal favourite, no more. Do you agree?
    Editor's Choice

    NEW: we have a FACEBOOK PAGE where regular contributors can share ideas and discuss stories. Why not join in?
