Written for Esther’s “Can You Tell A Story In…..?
– #275” exactly 46 words using the five required
prompt words: ‘deadbeat’, ‘cat’, ‘fiesta’ ‘septic’ and
‘battery’, for Sue & Gerry’s Weekly Prompts –
The One Day Prompt (10) and for Gerry & Sue’s
Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge – ‘gawking’.
This is my 46 word very short story.

“Whaddya gawkin’ at? Yeah, maybe this cat fell off the wagon for one day. Sue me! Ain’t like the time I got arrested for assault and battery after swingin’ a mouse around by its tail at the fiesta. Dude was septic anyways. I ain’t no deadbeat!”

Thanks, Laura! I love making people laugh. It’s difficult to say which I prefer more …. writing about music, weaving a deep dark tale or creating these pieces of comic relief. I’m grateful for people like you who appreciate my multiple personalities. 😂🥰😎
