Indie Book Bargains runs a daily 100-word story that it posts along with the books it is featuring. I figured, well, just 100 words, so I gave it a shot. Today, my story arrived as part of the email blast from Indie Book Bargains. Here is it:

Fathers and Sons by Walter Donway

On the dry hillsides of Sicily lived a father and son. Daily toil had toughened them. Reaching 18, the son rebelled against his father's bullying, fought him, knocked him down, and started dragging him across the hills.

His father struggled all the way, but, at one point, started weeping, and cried desperately, "No! No more! You can't drag me farther than this!" The son looked down contemptuously, and asked, "Oh, why? Why not?"

"Because," the father replied, with a sob, "this is as far as I dragged my father."
