The Bracelet

Amber lunged, 'give me that bracelet you greedy evil bitch.'� She was hauled off her feet by her sisters forth husband.

'Whoa there little darlin, you might not want to do that.'�

'Get the hell off of me Fuckload. This has nothing to do with you. This is between me and the gutter whore you call wife'�

Violet snapped the case shut. 'Put her down Harold. She won't touch me she's not that stupid.'�

'That's momma's bracelet Violet, you don't have no rights to it." Amber bucked and flailed, but couldn't break Harold's hold.

Violet sneered, 'I'm sorry sis, but everything must go, including momma's precious bracelet. She died and left us her debt.

Amber went limp. She looked up at Violet through a blur of tears. 'How can you be so cold?'�

Violet walked towards the door. 'Momma taught me.'�

the saddest thing is: this probably happens every day in every city. greed is the ultimate energy-waster. good story, girl.

remember to insert commas between the statement and the name, like:

Get the hell off of me Fuckload.
Get the hell off of me, Fuckload.

i think fuckload might just be my new favorite insult. i just WANT someone to mess with me so i can call him/her that.

luvins,
