Flash Fiction #195 – Teaching You a Lesson

“Liam, fart one more time in this car, you’re walking home.” He giggled.

​

To him it was another one of his mother’s empty threats, and he had more foul gas to give.

​

“You’ll be sorry,” cried Liam as Miriam pulled over.

​

She was.

Hours later, Liam never came home.

Frantic, she drove all night, calling everyone including the police.

​

When she arrived back home, she found Liam sleeping under the patio, covered in dirt, but otherwise unharmed.

​

She never again got onto Liam for his toots, for she had learned a valuable lesson.
