Passing the Test
Microfiction
Heading into the office, Marie was worried. Had she passed the test? She really needed this or her whole life would come crashing down. “Please let it be so,” she prayed.
“Ah, Marie. Good morning.”
“Good morning Dr. Williams.” Marie wrung her hands. She knew she had cheated and was pretty sure Dr. Williams knew it too. “Please let me pass the test. I’ll never do it again,” she prayed under breath.
“I guess you want to know, huh?” Dr. Williams said. Walking around the desk he picked up a paper from the top of a stack. “Here’s your test Marie.”
Blinking, she looked at the man. “Well, is it good?” she queried.
“You passed. The baby is your husband’s.”
Marie sobbed in relief.

Finding Tom
Running into the kitchen, Joel glanced around. ‘Hey Mom, where’s Tom? I can’t find him anywhere.” Distracted, his mother replied, “Don’t worry about Tom dear. Go out and play.” Wiping her flour dusted hands on her apron, she went back to pounding on the dough.

A Journey of Pickles
Stuart looked at his hamburger. “Perfect, except for one detail.” He walked to the pantry, looked at the shelves for a few long moments. He sighed. “We’re out of pickles.” He sighed again. Deeper. “I hate the basement.” He looked at the door leading down to the deep, dark basement. “Fine.”
