Is she my sister
I was supposed to be playing baseball. But everywhere I looked I saw her, and she seemed to be watching me as well. I had never seen her before. I was curious. When I returned to the bench she came up beside me. She leaned forward to whisper to me, and I leaned toward her to hear, She whispered "Your father is not your birth father." "What" I gasped "It is our family secret ." She continued. "You're crazy" I responded " Get out of here, you are nuts. " I turned my back to her. She seemed hurt, but she left. That pretty girl was nuts, I turned my focus back to my baseball game. I had never seen her before, she did not know my family, she was pretty but she nuts.

The Differences Between Fiction and Nonfiction (Semi-Daily Flash Fiction #1)
Frankie snapped out of her daze when she heard her Mom call her name from downstairs. Her surroundings came right back to her; she was propped up in her bed, holding open the 402-page novel she’d just picked up earlier that day, her fingers acting as a makeshift bookmark for page 402 and her bedside lamp providing all the light she could ever need to read and re-read those final lines. She skimmed them quickly once more, and got that same feeling she’d felt reading them for the first time. It felt like being punched in the gut, slapped across the face, and dunked underwater all at once.
