Scene It Challenge
Prompt: 09. Outside
Words: 100
Character: Beecher
Bryce fucking Tibbits. Toby never met the man, but it doesn’t matter. It’s all in the name. Toby went to prep school, Wesleyan for undergrad, Harvard law. He’s known hundreds of Bryce Tibbitses. Rich-boys. Weak and soft and a faggot to boot; that’s what Chris must have seen in that bar.
And later, in the alley.
Inside Oz, it’s hard for Toby not to dream, to second-guess every decision he ever made before. To imagine how things could have been different.
But sometimes he thinks, really thinks. Maybe it’s for the best that he never met Chris on the outside.
Prompt: 60. Unknown
Words: 100
Character: Hill
Two months after Vahue -- two months clean -- and something about Sister’s support group turns Augustus into a teacher’s-pet. He wants to talk all the time, like he did in grade school, and he knows if he don’t shut up, the other kids will punish him for it. Last thing he needs.
Besides, it’s not like talking helps him. He never learns.
Jackson Vahue never liked Augustus, but the motherfucker was real generous with the heroin. Hit this, my man, hit it good. Don’t be a pussy. Augustus can’t figure it. How can you just toss another person off a roof?
