‘What’s that?’
‘Divorce papers.’
‘What?’
‘Irreconcilable differences. Or to put it another way, I can’t have children.’
‘Eric’s divorcing you because you can’t have kids?’
‘The IVF has never worked.’
‘So why not adopt? Or foster?’
‘He wants his own kids; continue the family line.’
‘And that’s more important than you?’
‘It seems that was my primary role; provide him with offspring.’
‘My god, what an ass!’
‘What am I going to do now, Sadie? Divorced, barren, not exactly good looking.’
‘Plenty of divorced men fit that bill.’
‘Sadie!’
‘He won’t be making kids once I’ve cut off his balls.’
A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words.
