'…and all they could do was cry.'
Write a short story that ends with this as the final line.
Two Girls (I Know More Than They Do)
Two little girls
Set out into the world
Not really, it’s just for two weeks
And they’ll be with family the whole time
(that’s true, sadly it’s true)
They’re going to New York
Except they’re not, but they don’t know that
They’re driving the wrong way
But they’re so young, they still don’t question what adults say (but they should, they really should)
So when they find themselves in LA
They don’t wonder why, they just go and play
With the dolls kept in the guest room
Because they are at grandma’s, and she loves them (she does, doesn’t she?)
A week goes by, and they’re still at grandma’s
Halfway done and they haven’t even arrived
Grandma tells them their mom is missing
And all they can do is cry (grandma lied, she lied, please let me tell them it’s a lie!)
