The Election | A 100 Word Story

#193 Nine of Quills

TODAY IS A GREAT DAY FOR ALL OF US. CONNOR SANTIAGO HAS WON THE ELECTION.

Loudspeakers on public transportation and on every high-rise building blared this message over and over again to anyone and everyone who cared to listen. Grown men in the streets cried with overwhelming joy. Women visited houses of worship to thank their Lord for such good news.

Just one household did not have the same reaction as the world, and that was the Santiagos. Connor sat at home, surrounded by friends and family. 

His mother cried and squeezed his hand till the knock at the door.
