100 Word Story: Sneakers
“Dear heart, your sneakers are adorable.”
Yes, they are. That’s why I stole them from Barbara. You know Barbara, right? She’s the chick in the next room over. She’s fucked up in some kind of way, don’t ask me how. A lotta ways. Sure.

“You’re always so fashionable, wearing the latest styles like that! Trendsetter!”
The man on the other side of the building has gold cufflinks.

You nailed it!
She does indeed have great sneakers ….
