Flash Fiction (a Hundred Words or Fewer) #44: Self-centered

I felt like posting this image, though it has nothing to do with the story.

My sister, who’s thirty-eight, thinks I’m jealous of her ’cause she’s never been married or had kids.  She’s also never had sex, a fact she brags about as the organizer for her virgins’ group.  “You don’t need to have sex to have a worthwhile life,” she says.  Maybe, but having sex certainly helps.  I think she’s too self-centered to get laid, frankly.  And too judgmental—she called me a Nazi ’cause first I called ICE on the illegals next door, then I filmed the arrest and posted it.

Fuck her, so to speak.  Everyone should see what happens to lawbreakers.
