I decide to go with humour this week for Whisper for Five Sentence Fiction over at lilliemcferrin.com/five-sentence-fiction-whisper/ . I think my previous piece for a humorous Zombie Flash has started something. xx
The First day
It wasn’t what Rosie had expected on her first day as manager
as she had been promised that her sudden rise wouldn't affect friendships; she
had earned it after all with her ‘Superwoman’ tag and attitude to work and
getting things done.
She’d even brought in cupcakes that she had made to
celebrate with her staff and friends as well as extending their lunch break, seeing as they had gone to so much effort with
Good Luck cards and wanting to toast the first day.
Since lunch, there were whisperings, sniggerings and dropped
eyes every time Rosie walked by and now her nerves were so frayed with the
thought that something bad was going to happen that she couldn’t leave her
office, especially when her colleagues started to randomly do impressions of
Superman.
Rosie watched her colleagues who continued to laugh even when
she met prospective clients and too her amazement, even they began to laugh but
not so discreetly.
“I’m sorry” began the older of the two clients, trying to stifle
his laugh “but . . . . . er . . . . . your skirt is . . . . . er . . . . . . tucked in your . . . .
. er . . . . . Superman knickers.”
Lol... Can you just imagine...xx
ReplyDeleteAt least she had knickers - and not a thong...
ReplyDeleteNice story!
Very good!!! I even guessed the ending before the end came. About the whisperings. I thought oh it might have to do something with her skirt tucked in and her knicks showing. Very cute. Yep I liked this one. How very embarrassing though xxxx
ReplyDeleteI thought you might guess this one. xx
DeleteBrilliant! I really enjoyed this. It happened to a friend of mine, she queued at the bank and only realised when she got back to the office that she'd her skirt tucked into her tights. Great take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Easily done I guess . . .xx
DeleteHaha! I didn't expect that. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHee, hee, thank you. was in a cheeky mood. xx
DeleteWell, that will be a day she won't soon forget! :)
ReplyDeletePoor thing. I'd hope she'd laugh about it one day. . . xx
DeleteThat must be so embarrassing !!!
ReplyDeleteI know I'd find it mortifying! xx
DeleteLOL! What a way to start out a first day of a new postion. I think I'd like a pair of Superman knickers, though. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey'd be so cool. xx
DeleteI think I'd die, but then I'd never have got that promotion! I'm far from Superwoman lol
ReplyDeleteJoin the club chicken. xx
DeleteLove it! And I'd like some Superman knickers!! x
ReplyDeleteMe too! xx
DeleteWell done! I enjoyed this very much!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann. xx
DeleteReally didn't see that ending coming. Very funny.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I like to try a little humour every now and then. xx
DeleteBest story of the day! As it goes along we share Rosie's puzzlement about what everyone is whispering about, and only at the end reveal do we fully understand the response she's received. Shame on all those meanie coworkers for leaving her with her Super-undies exposed. Bet there is no more cupcakes or extended lunches for them! Great story!
ReplyDeleteThank you Josie; I fear you're right about no more cupcakes and extended lnuch . serve them right. xx
DeleteLOL, thank you. Great job with the humor.
