This was a nice piece of work. I see Mr Browning has to thank his shrink for his most popular title. Nice to involve someone we know as a twist.

look don’t worry about Marli’s meager four pencils familiarity breeds contempt(mjy blows rasbarries at marli)
This was incredible the line.Nah. These are just fragments; pieces of glass on the floor. The chandelier shattered a long time ago..was a stroke of brilliance, the way it sang yet explained he was no longer interested in the luxuries his parents could provide. i get it a high five, a braavo, a far out five pencils, six stars and one more pencil for the one marli left out it was just awesome? by the way are you in the LoA?

plus one hundred extra pencils

MJY, You are a trip… lol.
But I agree with him, I lovvvved that line. BRILLIANT!

Thanks so much, all. And yes, Mighty-Joe, I have been in the LOA since Ficlets!

hmm i saw the chandelier as a dream he had of doing something creative with his life, but his parents forced him to pursue education and the dream died.. yeah he may not like his parents, but he is still under them.
