100 Words on Saturday Week 10 Prompt – Dark Secrets
What ‘cha got there Jack?
Startled to see his mother standing in the doorway, he slammed the cigar box lid.
Nothing. Just my box for special things.
What kind of things?
Just things I find when I’m out playing, and things my friends give me. Michael gave me a matchbox car when I traded my chocolate milk at school… He smiled innocently, looking up from the floor.
Okay, supper’s ready. Her voice trailed down the hallway.
Pulling the fistful of bubble gum from his pocket, he added it to his box of growing secrets, and shoved it under the bed.

Loved your 100 words. At first, I thought the picture was of Tate’s drawer.
Oh dear – boys will be boys! Loved it and the picture too.
What a sweet story about a little boy. Makes me think of my kids and their hidden secrets of rocks and dirt in their pockets LOL
All little boys need their little secrets.

All of us would have done this at some point of time…we stash away a few things which are valuable only to us. Nice story.
Box of secrets! I guess everyone has one. 🙂
