Short Story
Written by Audrey Francis-Plante
My father sat us three in the living room and said, “If I told you that tomorrow, every law expires. Everything is legal for one day. What would you do?”
My sister clapped her hands eagerly. “Easy. I’d rob a bank.”
“I’d steal Andy’s bike,” my young brother said. “And his PS4.”
“And you, Thomas,” Dad said. “Does my eldest also have the ambitions of a thief?”
“No,” I said, feeling my neck reddening.
“What would you do, then?”
I cleared my throat. “I’d marry Mark.”
Silence.
I guess they had to know eventually.
What an amazing twist ! I just looooove it. Coming out must be incredibly difficult, it’s quite original how you made you personnage did it. You inspired yourself of the movie “The purge” aven’t you guuuuurl ? 😉

Hi dear Audrey,
You never seem to stop amazing me. It must be really difficult to write a story that short, but you managed to surprise us anyway ! I like how you deal with important themes, such as homosexuality. Are you an engaged writer ? I also like that the two others siblings were only thinking about stealing ah! ah! ah!

You had me going the whole time and then stopped me short at the end. Excellent way to get a variety of points across. And playful, too.
