Sticks and Stones

In response to a Drabble challenge by JF Danskin

Thanks for the challenge to write a drabble, JF, you know I can’t resist. My drabble is from one of your prompts, it was actually hard to pick one out of the ten, they were all so well done.

Idea 2 from 10 Writing Prompts by JF Danskin

A character has been deeply upset by the behaviour of a friend or family member. Craft an imagined response in the form of a letter or email.

Hi Dr. HelpMeOut, I wanted to email you before we have our next session, hope you don’t mind?

Apparently, I’m an idiot, not just any idiot, but a bumbling idiot.

I’ve been told this a lot lately by the same person.

You know that castle you helped me to create? The one where I’m supposed to stuff these kinds of accusations into rooms? Well, I did that and been doing it for a long time. Unfortunately, the Self-Image room is full to the brim, so the words bounced right back at me this time.

What now?

Needing help, Me
