10.11 Drabble

100 words per episode...

Charlie was smart to run. But the answer isn’t in any book in Italy. It isn’t in eggwhite omelets and eight hours of sleep and “minding your quiet.”

The answer is in your hands. The answer is Charlie’s blood on your fists, your little sister pounded into the ground, the crack of breaking bone. The answer is your twitchy hands, your own personal demonic DTs, temporarily sated by violence, by her blood.

Is the next answer going to be your little brother? Your angel? An innocent bystander?

What was the question again?

Does it even matter any more?

Run, Charlie.

My drabbles are part of a challenge now. Read about it here.
