“I’m sorry, but I’ve decided to leave you,” said his wife, “you’re such a bore”.
“Okay, bye,” said he as she dragged her case out of the door, “make sure you shut the garden gate behind you”.
He’s very reserved, nothing upsets him, nothing excites him, he’s never been known to show emotion.
Recently, his faithful dog died, it happens, someone damaged his car, that happens, his house was burgled, never mind, the doctor said he was ill, he just shrugged his shoulders.
He plays the Lotto without expecting to win, but last Saturday when he turned on the television to check his numbers, he discovered he had won, a considerable amount in fact!
“‘That’s nice” he muttered as he switched off the TV and got back to reading his book.

Thanks to GirlieOnTheEdge for hosting.
Jings, what a dull guy!
Cool reading, Keef!
I had someone in mind when I wrote it, I just hope he doesn’t read it! Cheers CE
I just did!
I think he’s missing a lot in life. 😂
Things he’ll never know about. Cheers, Mimi.
Yes, unfortunately
Good one
Thanks so much.
At least he is not fearful that something that won’t likely ever happen just might. I hope he doesn’t forget to collect that lotto money.
I doubt he can be bothered! Cheers, Frank.
good one
Thanks so much.
Ha! It’s too bad about his dog and I wonder if the wife will come back to help him redeem his lotto ticket.
If she finds out she’ll be back in a flash I’m sure!
Hmmm, he sounds like he’d make a great door stop.
Haha! That’s a thought!
Energy? What energy!, lol
Can’t imagine being so “flat”. He’s missing out on a whole lot of fun!!
Each to their own! Cheers Denise.
Brilliant telling, Keith! You brought your characters to life.
One livelier than the other! Thanks, Chris.
But both good in their own way 🙂
Hi Keith – must have been a good book … perhaps he went off and bought a first edition. Fun take on the prompt – cheers Hilary
Probably War and Peace!
(Don’t tell anyone but…) I can totally identify with the protagonist. lol
Insight: those who observe and judge the main character merely lack the ability to see that which is of value to him.
I think you could be right! Interesting.
He must be having a rock solid peace of mind. A vivid portrayal .
Absolutely so, thanks Indira.
Welcome, Keith.
Still waters that don’t go deep.
Utter peace is not worth no joy, to my mind.
Absolutely so, Liz, it results in a very dull life. Thanks for dropping by.
I want to give him a slap! I see him as somebody who puts the same numbers on every week, so his wife will come back and collect the money for him, only she’ll forget to go home with it! ;)#
I’m sure you’re right Jenne! I doubt it would bother him if she did disappear with it!
A dream character!
That about sums him up! I doubt he can be bothered with nightmares. Cheers, Reena.
