Notes: Challenge 39: Thanksgiving. Life is hetic, and vomit smells nothing like roses. But sometimes we only need a moment.
"So It's Not All Raindrops on Roses..."
Elijah started throwing up at 9 that morning. After some medicine, he was parked on the couch with the playstation and a stack of dvds. Jason had spent all last night griping about the paper his teacher has assigned over break. Keshon had gotten a hamster for his 5th birthday and, afraid it would be lonely, had slipped it into the cage with his mother’s. Now they were expecting a Christmas gift of several tiny hamsters. The last thing the Chief needed on his day off was a call from the precinct.
“Hey Chief!” Leon shouted into the phone. “Listen up!”
“Happy Thanksgiving!” The voices of the entire squad chorused over the line. Their chief chuckled as he hung up, each of his blessings burning into his mind like stars.
