Drabble Challenge #86 [Alternate]

Prompt: escape
Not every mother who’s neglected her child, eventually learns to love her unconditionally.

Not every father who denigrates his child, will come to see the error of his ways.

Bad things are always happening to good people.

Good people are constantly being subjected to bad things.

Pain and suffering abound in places where it never seems to make any sense.

Everybody dies, often randomly and in terrible ways, for no discernible reason.

Not every life that’s been filled with meaningless drudgery reaches an epiphany.

Real life doesn’t always have a purpose, or a feel-good ending.

That’s why we make movies.
