Prompt: 049. bubblegum<\/h1>\n

1. “Mommy\/Daddy, I got something in my hair.”<\/h2>\n

A. “Mommy\/Daddy, I got something in my hair.” It was with a sense of trepidation that I looked up from my book.<\/p>\n

There was pink bubblegum in the baby fine hair. What had once been a single wad had been smeared and tangled by careless fingers into something out of a nightmare. The gum was everywhere, all the way down to the scalp.<\/p>\n

A. The little girl wore a bubblegum pink helmet. That was the first and last thing he noticed about her before he felt the impact of her and her bike against the front of the car.<\/p>\n

A. She felt a smoldering rage as she looked at the bubblegum pink spacesuit. It looked ludicrous amongst the plainer black and gray suits; and she knew that it was a taunt from all those that expected her to fail.<\/p>\n

She didn’t let any of her feelings show on her face as she walked over to the locker with her last name on the front. She stared blandly forward as she stripped down to her shipsuit and began pulling on the pink spacesuit. It fit perfectly, showing that someone was willing to pay for quality even when hazing the agent nobody wanted around.<\/p>\n
