‘He’s just a carpetbagger. A blow-in. The only thing he cares about is his himself.’
‘Try looking in the mirror sometime, Tom.’
‘I was born and raised here! I know this place and I know its people.’
‘And they know you. They think it’s time for a change.’
‘Disloyal ingrates! After all I’ve done for them.’
‘What? Delivered hot air and empty promises?’
‘Why you ... you’re meant to be my election agent!’
‘And you’re meant to be a representative of and for the people.’
‘I’m not losing to a carpetbagger.’
‘You are unless you change your tune. And fast.’
A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words.
