Here we go again with Friday Fictioneers - an online group who write 100-word stories each week prompted by a photo on Rochelle's blog site.

BOXES
Billy and his mum never went out. All their food was delivered - the empty cardboard boxes
were Billy’s favourite toys.
One day Billy’s mum went to sleep and wouldn’t wake up.
Billy and Gizmo shared a box of cereal with orange juice
because Billy couldn’t open the milk. Gizmo was sick in the garden, then ran up the tree and
escaped over the box-like fence.
Billy was alone. His mum was still asleep and the television was scary so he
turned it off. Then it was too quiet.
When the delivery man looked through the letterbox he called
the police.
