Another site was having a challenge to write an entire story in exactly 750 words. Buckle up folks...

Mark Meadows slowly organized the packet of documents he had removed from the fire safe in his bedroom.

“Get your stuff together guys. We leave for Grandma’s in ten minutes!” he shouted to his three kids; Becky 13, Glenn 11 and Tabatha 8.

“K Dad,”s were chorused back to him from the three bedrooms down the hall.

Mark thumbed the speed dial for his sister and waited for her answering, “Hey Mark.”

“Just wanted to make sure you were going to be to Mom’s after lunch,” he said.

“Almost into Pennsylvania now,” his sister replied, “We will be to the house by 2.”

“Great,” Mark said, “I really am grateful to you and Sam for your support so far in the divorce.”

“Well, you ARE my only brother in law and they ARE not only our nieces and nephew but our Godchildren as well,” said Sam, his brother in law, obviously using the car’s hands-free.

“K, the kids will be at Mom’s when you get there,” Mark said and ended the call.

Making sure the project he had spent the weekend on was in his briefcase, he snapped it closed and began to herd his kids towards their car.
