Half is Mine by Teresa Smeigh 2019
“Put the cigarette out,” I shrieked.
“This is half my house and I am smoking in my half,” John said
Not thinking I grabbed it out of his hand and tossed it out the back door. I didn’t even stop to put it out.
John just stared at me as there was a whoosh and a sudden bright flame.
“What the?” Suddenly I remembered John had been raking leaves and building a bonfire for tomorrow night’s party.
“All that work and you just set most of the backyard on fire with your hysterics.”
“Was the tantrum worth it” John asked?

We don’t use our brains when we throw a tantrum, I know I don’t. Get into a lot of trouble that way. Well-written story, Tessa.

He was an idiot for smoking in the house in the first place. Nice take

I agree. As a non-smoker I am glad to see it being banned in most public places and they have banned it in the apartments I live in although I can still smell it in the halls and the elevators so I know there are still offenders out there.
