   Monthly Prompt: Palette Challenge

   Coni didn’t get to see his parents– at all. And that was normal for other kits but not for Coni. He–

   His parents adored him. 

   They sent him care packages weekly with baked cookies, letters about their deeds, and promises to send another next week. Of course, they cared, but still. Coni had never truly seen them– never seen them smile freely or hug him or one another. 

   He only caught them in glances from doorways or the photos they gave him.

   The one time he’d been in the same room as them for a family portrait, they’d stood away from him, six feet away. And even though they didn’t fit into the frame with him, that was the picture they’d taken. 

   And the light reflecting off of Coni’s glasses overexposed the photo.

   In the one picture Coni had with his (loving, busy, terrified, never there) parents, he couldn’t even see their smiles.
