Hint fiction: A story told in 25 words or less.

I tried my hand at it today during a discussion led by author Roxane Gay. She gave us around ten minutes to write a hint fiction piece. I quite like the one I did so I figured I'd share it with you fine people. Seeing as how I usually have real trouble with flash fiction, I thought I would have trouble with this as well. Maybe I just got lucky.
