Re: Extremely Short Stories for those of you with Extremely Short Attention Spans
Whatever happened to Daddy, I ask my mother one morning.
Getting two bowls out of the cabinet, she says nothing.
So I repeat the question. Your husband, my father - whatever happened to him?
He forgot the way home, she says as she sets the box of cereal before me.
What?
He went out for milk and never came back.
Oh, I reply. I understand. And satisfied, I chomp on a spoonful of dry corn flakes.
