100 Words!

For Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers photo prompt.

What’s that dreadful smell?

I’ve sniffed the cupboard, checked the fridge, bleached the loo, sent Pongo (my dog) outside, and even sniffed inside my shirt!

Where’s it coming from?

I’ve flapped a tray, sprayed some air-freshener, lit a perfumed candle, heated a spicy curry, chucked out Pongo’s basket, brewed some coffee and even played Natasha Bedingfield’s ‘Smell the Roses’, all to no avail.

If you’re expecting a fragrant end to this taradiddle then I’m going to disappoint you, and if this disgusting odour has infiltrated your pc/laptop/tablet/phone I can only apologise on its behalf, whatever it is!

    Dear Keith,

    I hope you can find it soon. You’re stinking up the internet. 😉 Fun.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    My nose hurts from the smell 🤭
    But I’ll help look for the source…let me first get a mask

    What a dreadful smell indeed. Ohh I guess I’d better go find that my stash of leftover masks! 😉

        I hope you were able to sort it out, Keith!

    Poor old Pongo – let him back in before he freezes!

    Nicely written and the read was even better.

    So far, I think it has stayed on your side, which is good because I get enough from sources here.

    Nothing worse than not finding the culprit! Took me a couple days to find my cat had decided to go behind a plant in my room. Blech.

    What ever it is in the cupboard causing the problem, it is clearly past its smell by date.

    It’s just your vivid imagination, like your take on this prompt. 🙂

    i suppose somebody needs to take a shower. 🙂

    Hmm, now I smell something. You did that on purpose (haha). Clever stuff!

    Writing with a clothespin on my nose here. I suggest giving Pongo a bath. Astink by any other name and so on…

    Have a great time, Keith. 🙂
