A Bad Sign
Written for Friday Fictioneers where our host Rochelle
has asked us to use the photo below as inspiration
to get creative in 100 words or less, making
every word count. Hereβs my flash.
Just my luck! First day of my new job; things couldnβt have gotten off to a worse start!
Overnight blackout during a heatwave.
No electricity.
No AC; I sweat like crazy all night and smell like an ox.
No alarm clock; I overslept.
No time for a shower and shave.
No closet light; Iβm wearing one brown shoe and one black.
I look like a derelict!
Nothing for breakfast; no time for even fast food.
Iβm stuck behind road hogs. “Outta my way, you fools! Iβm late for work!“
Some first impression. I must have a cloud over my head!
