Calling Out of Work

A Fiery Family Feud

In a whirlwind of family drama, our protagonist finds themselves in a heated conflict with their mom. After receiving a tearful call from their stepsister, they decide to give her a ride home, despite their mom’s strict rule against letting any of their dad’s stepkids in the car. When their mom finds out, she’s livid and takes away the car keys. But when she needs a ride to the hospital for a high-risk pregnancy appointment, our protagonist hides the keys and refuses to take her, citing karma for her previous actions.
