Blogtember {day thirteen}


Creative writing day!
Write a (very short) fictional story that starts with this sentence:
"To say I was dreading this dinner party would be the understatement of the century..."

I'm chewing my finger nails here trying to figure out where to take this prompt. 
There are so many options...
I hope you like my choice!

To say I was dreading this dinner party would be the understatement of the century. I stared at the door that lead into my mother's house. I don't know how long I stood there before my sister Clare joined me.

"Are you going to go in?" she asked.

I scrunched my nose, "I don't want to."

She laughed, "Why? It's just dinner with mom."

I looked at her through my lashes, "It's never just dinner with mom, Clare."

She tossed her hair over her shoulder and opened the door, "Whatever."

I took a deep breath and crossed the threshold into my mother's house and whatever ambush was waiting for me at the dinner table.
