This 100-word story was published in Micro Madness organized by National Flash Fiction Day, New Zealand. Below is the story and a link to my video reading it:
Maracas
You tell them she’s taking a nap after crawling around the house, poking her hands in the rice canisters, digging mud from the flowerpots, but the neighbors don’t listen. Neither does your husband. Women sprinkle her with jasmine incense and wrap her in a white shroud. Your husband carries her out in his arms. You run after him but women hold you back. You hear her, crying at a distance. You rattle her maracas to pacify her but the wails grow louder. You shake the toys harder and harder. Then, smash them against the wall. Little beads spilling everywhere.
