STACH Short Story Contest #15: 199 words.|Christmas Special, everyone wins.

in contest •  7 years ago 

It was December again, Christmas was around the corner. The coldness and dryness was undeniable. Tega went with his mother to the market, there'd be a lot of people shopping for Christmas, so she needed an extra hand. Tega's mother had a big clothing shop in the heart of Igbudu Market. He knew he had to help out, not because he liked it, but because he didn't want her to lose money. When Christmas comes calling, it comes with a lot of customers and Tega wasn't going to let them go with their money. He worked all day; explaining to customers why they should buy a material, convincing customers that the prices were more than fair, and writing receipts upon receipts. This was the most busiest time of the year, and Tega didn't like the stress it came with, he had no choice, helping his mother was his way of saying thank you for all she'd been doing for him. What better time to appreciate her efforts and sacrifices, if not the Christmas season. It is the season to show love and he was going to show his love by helping his mother.
