for Six Sentence Stories where the given word is Quarter.
.
I like nothing more than a challenge and have completed many feats of do-or-die over the years, always with a degree of success that left my followers totally gobsmacked.
They said this was a deed too daring, but to the shock and horror of my friends I took it on, undetered and with optimistic confidence.
I got off to a great start, it was a doddle and within minutes I’d completed a quarter of the task in hand.
Halfway through, I slowed a bit but anyone else would have been proud to have got that far.
Between you and me, I did begin to struggle a little bit at the three-quarter mark, but I swept back my hair, mopped my sweating brow and exuberantly carried on.
Three, two, one mouthful to go then with a thunderous belch I triumphantly finished two bowls of phaal curry, two tubs of rice, six poppadoms and … wait for it … four whole naan breads!]

Thanks to GirlieOnTheEdge for hosting.
My my, that would be enough for a while family and to spare.
Very true Sadje!
😛
Bravo!!!! Fun! 😊
Haha! Cheers!
Whoa! That’s quite the feast. I know for a fact that I wouldn’t be able to finish even a quarter of that!
Ha ha! Made me smile 🙂
…and then went to lie down! Great fun, Keith, keeping us going wondering what this challenge was.
… with regular visits to the loo no doubt! Cheers, Jenne
Oh, that sounds like a contest, and eating contests are not for me. You win!
Go on, have a go – it’s fun Mimi!
Hi Keith – way too much … but very appropriate for the prompt … fun to read – thanks – I’ll keep away for the time being – cheers Hilary
Can’t say I blame you, Hilary!
so glad you are back with the sixers. I love your work. Great six.
That’s so kind of you. I’ve no idea why I stopped!
The last sentence made me smile. 🙂
Mission accomplished! Thanks, Romi.
I tip my hat to your gastronomic abilities! Was there an Alka Seltzer for dessert?!
Yes, five doses! Thanks, Michael.
I always knew you were full of something, Keith…
Good to see you back here, old belcher
Yep, always full!
Good to be ba….erp (‘scuse me)
Terrifically Punny! And I have no idea how marmalade is made.
I just don’t understand its appeal.
Thanks for stopping by!
Now you’ve started! Cheers!
Loved the surprise ending there. Bravo, I can get through a fair lot of delicious curry but tip my hat to four naan breads!
Have a go, I dare you!
Fun Six. Always good to come upon a story we Readers can sink our teeth into… (yes, I will proceed no further down this punny path).
Please, don’t cease punning! Silliness is more than welcome here! Cheers Clark.
Those naan sound tasty. I like how he completed those missions with “a degree of success”.
They do. Actually, I’d quite like to have a go at that challenge in reality!
(Handing over a glass of bicarb…) 😉
Just what’s needed! Cheers Liz.
Love it, Keith! Didn’t know where it was headed (yes, very bad pun!). Great pace. By the end, my smile turned to chuckle 😀
btw, love that word “gobsmacked”!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Denise, I’m gobsmacked!
Great twist at the end. Had me chuckling 🙂
I’m pleased! Thanks so much Nicole.
