Dating : Blood in the Sink

100 Word Story

Dalton shaved with his father’s old straight razor and brush, antiques both. His father handed him down the alcoholism gene too, more than likely.

He was proud that the bullets were scattered in the grass, though he would have to find all six before he mowed.

Distracted, he cut himself, feeling nothing but seeing the triangular sheet of blood in the sink.

Can you make a vow in a mirror?

Dalton did.

He vowed he would never end his own existence, sell his gun to his brother, and purposely cut himself shaving every day for the rest of his life.
