#Day 5 Frustrating in #BlogFlash 2012
Natalie always found the toilet seat up. Frustrating wasn’t
the word. A gazillion times she had
nagged Liam to put it down. Leaving the cap off the tooth paste instantly sent
her into another frenzy of nagging as well as the towel being left crumpled on
the floor.
This morning was different. The tooth paste was how she left
it, as was the toilet seat and the towel; folded neatly and ready to use. But it
wouldn’t be used by Liam ever again . . .
the car accident had seen to that.
How she longed to see that toilet seat up . . . .

ReplyDeleteWasn't expecting that twist at the end but really good :)
Thank you. I thought long and hard, a walk along the beach (not so hard) and came up with some frustrations and a way to turn into story. Glad you liked. xx
DeleteOH! Whoa! Did not see that coming! That was smart storytelling in those hundred words!! You totally caught me by surprise!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruth. I felt my last few entries were more 'bloggy' than story and wanted to get back to story telling. Spent a ong time thinking about this one! xx
DeleteOh *gasp*, that's a bit dark. The start of a novelette?
ReplyDeleteI've written a few bits of fluff recently and wanted to do something different. . . shall think about it further maybe, and see if can continue it on another prompt? xx
DeleteHeartbreaking. :(
ReplyDeleteThank you; thougth I'd done a bit too much fluff recently. xx
DeleteWow, what a twist! I really didn't see that coming. I love that twist on frustration, Lizzie.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terri . . I was thinking about annoying habits causing frustration but took it one step further as I've been writing a few soppy posts recently.Glad you liked. xx
