Written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt
#437 where we’re asked to be creative in exactly
49 words using the word ‘erinaceous’. Here’s my take.
Ellen burned her blouse while ironing, had a flat tire on the way to the station, missed her train, broke the heel of her favorite shoes and arrived late for work. It was just one of those erinaceous mornings where nothing went right, leaving poor Ellen feeling very prickly.

Oh goodness, that is a prickly morning. 🌵 That’s why I use a steamer for my clothes. 😅

Thanks, Lisa. I remember from when I used to watch American Idol, this was the song that was played when someone was eliminated from the competition.

A hedgehog can have a “bad day,” as they can experience stress, fear, and general grumpiness. Hedgehogs, like other animals, have distinct personalities and can be affected by various factors in their environment and daily routine.
