Exceptional No Time For Reasoning Out On a Limb For Love by Jay Squires Dribble Flash Fiction contest entry

They’ll come around. We’d laughed about it. Once it’s born, they’ll accept me.   Suzie waits, bag packed. Straddling the limb, I reach for the window. She’s waving me away. No! I lean. Her daddy's shotgun rams my chest.   “Law pertects the homeowner ‘gainst trespassin’, niggah. And God—He fergives the Christian.”   Recognized Author Notes The lovely picture is appreciated, Wolfdancer13.
