Title: In The Blood
Author: Quaggy
Challenge #156: Blood
Word Count: 100
His compulsive need to fix everything is learned behavior. Your political activism was a way to muffle the grief in your heart, but you took your son along for the ride. Took him everywhere with you, really. And proudly watched as the love of politics entered his bloodstream. Then came the night when his blood was spilt and you cursed yourself for what you’d done. But… he made three honorable judges Supreme Court Justices, two brilliant long-shots Presidents and an amazing former assistant (who’s become a skillful political operative) his wife. Maybe you’re not such an awful mother after all.

Your love of politics started early because of her. You’d walk along beside her as she put up campaign flyers. You felt proud (and maybe a little embarrassed) after she’d beaten Republican neighbors into submission with unfailing logic. You loved more than anything when she’d let you stay up late to watch the returns. It was something that you shared, just you and her. Now as you take a moment to watch her answer your daughter’s questions about what mommy and daddy are doing, you grin. Politics is in the blood of the next generation of Lymans too, it seems.
