Comments on 'Substandard Seating'Daniel sighed as he read the paper. Why had he even bothered? He should've known she would respond that way, everyone else did.
Even people who knew his father thought _someone_ was faking _something_.
He folded the paper haphazardly and set it on the table for his father to read it later. He leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, still wondering what to do.
He fell backwards onto the floor, the wood of the chair's back splintering around him. "Aw, crap..." He rubbed his back, that would be sore tomorrow...Probably even later today.
He heard the key begin to turn in the door. His father was home.
He was struck by a lightning bolt of realization and grabbed the paper, rushing it back to his room before returning to clean up the broken chair.
His father opened the door, Daniel acted as if it was just another day.
"Hey, champ, how's your day been?" his father set down his keys and wallet on the counter before looking at Daniel. "_Another one_ broke? Those aren't very good chairs."2008-04-16T23:40:53Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/27683Comment on Substandard Seating<p>Good story, but try and add some variety as to how you initiate paragraphs. In order: Daniel/Even/He/He/He/He/His/Hey. That big block in the middle could use a quick blending, but overall, much better than average : )</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/27683?basename=569772008-04-16T23:40:53Zatlltahttp://ficlets.com/authors/atllta
