Let me whisper it to you!
.
It’s quiet outside. That doesn’t mean they’ve left, one or two of them could still be skunking around. The sound of them shouting and yelling earlier is still ringing in my ears.
I managed to sneak away when they weren’t looking. I’m in a safe room now, I’ve secured the door and I’ll stay here until I’m certain that I’m free from danger.
She was expecting me carry out a deed for her. She said if I refused, the consequences would be dire. I can’t do it, I can’t. Why me? She said it was urgent, so hopefully, in my absence, someone else will have been given the mission.
I’ve been treated like a slave for too long. It’s time I started standing up for myself, time I began…
No. Oh no. I can hear footsteps. They’re getting louder. They’re coming my way. Control yourself. Don’t be afraid. Remember you’re in the safe room. No harm can … NO!
‘Yes dear, I can hear you.
Don’t worry sweetheart, I’ve put the seat down.
Of course I’ve sprayed the air freshener, my love.
The supermarket? You still want me to go there, precious?
Can’t you send one of the kids, angel?
What do you mean you’ll deny me my …… okay honeybunch, I’ll go.
Yes, pet.
Now’.

I hate shopping.

You’re a natural funny guy, Keith. 😁
Excellent, Keith, even by your standards.
Although I should have guessed that prompt would bring out the best/worst of you!
That’s most kind of you… I think! Let’s just say it brought out the in-between of me!
Fun!
Thanks, Chris, It was fun to write!
Well, the prompt picture was just begging for your story, Keith, and you did it proud.
So funny!
Thanks so much, Jenne, that’s really kind of you!
There’s no such thing as a ‘safe room’ for him it seems. Poor man. Great fun though.
Sadly not! Thanks, Margaret.
LOL
Exactly the reaction I hoped for!
Thank you
That was SO good. I went straight to the audio and what a delightful reading! 🤣🤣
