Feeling Punchy

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

Written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt #371
where we are asked to get creative in exactly 54 words using the prompt word “timorous”. Here’s my story.

Nelly was a timorous sort; every little thing turned her into a nervous wreck.

So the other night at the dinner party when everyone except Nelly started feeling deathly ill while she stood off to the side calmly sipping her water, the truth became obvious.

Nelly was the one who poisoned the punch bowl.
