Who? by Loretta Bigg 100 Word Flash writing prompt entry |
One small mistake. At my catholic school, standing near the vending machine is me. 1964. Grade one and proud of my shiny shoes. Three braided Older Girls with Turned-up Skirts and Acne. Their leader pinches me, pushes. “Pick the right one or we’ll scuff those pumps: Who do you love best, Paul, John, George or Ringo?” “I’ve never heard of Saint Ringo. Was he a martyr?” “A what?” their leader steps hard on my favorite foot. I cry and pule and whine and lose. I forgo what happens next except for some inexplicable reason I can't stand beetles after that.
