bike - 100 word novel

Another 100 word novel debuted on twitter

Hayley and Jack sat on the floor where he fell off his bike. She stuck dry leaves to the blood. His leg was white. At first Jack cried but now he played with the grit on his knees and hummed. Fifteen years later Hayley remembered the leaves momentarily sticking then falling from Jack's leg. She sat in Joe's kitchen as he cleaned her toes. In sandals her foot slipped off the pedal of her bike.  Joe's neck was pale under his shirt through red where it recently burned to tanned just below his hair.
