Sibling Rivalry — A Flash Fiction Challenge

FOR SALE: ONE LITTLE BROTHER.

AGE: 5.

HEIGHT: Maybe three feet. Enough to get in my way.

WEIGHT: Fat. Broke my favorite dollhouse when he sat on it.

I have a baby brother for sale. Will accept cash or coins. Looking for $20, but I will take the best offer. His name is Sam. His hobbies include screaming, crying, eating, and taking the blame. He likes toy cars and trains. For food: applesauce, bananas, and Pop-Tarts. Sometimes he smells, but only if he’s been outside for a long time.

Please contact Lisa at brother4sale@hotmail.com with any questions. Thank you for your consideration!
