Six Sentence Sunday 11/18 #sixsunday

Today's six are from "Small Town Life," a short story that was just accepted for publication in the next issue of Shadow Road Quarterly, due out right before Christmas. 

It's a stand-alone excerpt from my novel, The Lone Wolf, from the POV of the male MC at age 18.  He's just gotten into a physical fight with his stepfather and is trying to calm down at his best friend Carly's house, where she's crying while she cleans up the blood.
“I'm sorry, Carly,” I told her.  Sorry that I couldn't control my temper and stuff like this happened.  Sorry I disappointed everyone.  Sorry I couldn't fix her problems like I wanted to.  Sorry my life sucked and she was the one stuck straightening it out.  But all that came out was sorry.

    That's a really great six. I feel like we've all been though something that just ends up with a list of 'sorry'. Great work.

    Well he's got tons of backstory there, waiting to pop out! Very evocative Six, ED. Interested to know more about both of them.
