Teaser Drabble #1
Fox sat at the top of the stairs, hands trembling on the rungs of the banister. Their hushed whispers floated easily into his waiting ears.
“This must be done for the good of everyone involved.”
“I can’t make that decision!” His mother pleading.
“We all have to make sacrifices, Teena.”
A long pause, but he didn’t dare peek down at them.
“Bill will be home soon. You’d better go.”
Fox froze in place when the man got up to leave, swinging his suit jacket over his
shoulder. When he reached the door, he turned, and their eyes met.
He slowly lit up a cigarette, and inhaled. With the first puff he mumbled, “Little spy.”
Then he was gone.
