Poker :: 50 Word Short Story

One foot out the door on my way from Florida to Wisconsin, I still needed to make time for @jayna's Fifty Word Story Challenge

The prompt this week: bait


I leapt back to my school days, retrieving a memory of bullying from one very annoying individual.



I hunched low at my desk, as if it would somehow make me as invisible as I wanted to be.

The kid behind me kept poking with a pencil. Kept shoving my chair. Whispering. He was baiting me into reacting.

But I kept my poker face. I’d get him later.
