The Clone War

A 55 word story about a mother's desparate need for help.

         My 13 children were rambunctious that day: one screamed at his video game; 5 kids brawled; little ones tore through my house like rockets. The anticipated call came from the scientist.

“She’s finally ready!”

“Am I tough?”

“Your clone?”

“Me. I want to know if I’ll win when we fight over who gets to leave.”
