IT'S TIME

[FlashXer] EXERCISE: TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 2008

BAck to something standard, instead of the ponderously long prompt that Angela Hoy used for he 24 hour. I don't know which may be easier to write to,m but I sorta suspect this may be. At any rate, you will only know if you try. So try this prompt for today.

OKAY, HONEY IT'S TIME

Usual rules. 1000 words. In the subject line, please the word Okay, and then your name and the story title.
Its time you gave this your all.
Get to it.
Have fun

Janine's Okay "It's Time" 84 words

"Okay honey. It's time." Said Jillian.

"Hmmmm? Time for what, dear?" Said Frank.

"I'm not going to take your forgetfulness as an excuse, honey." Said Jillian.

"What? I can't hear you, dear. You're going to have to speak up." Said Frank.

Jillian lit Frank's newspaper on fire with the cannon-shaped cigarette lighter.

Frank stomped on the newspaper, leaving a scorch mark on the rug. Then he watched as the water ran down his wife's leg, letting him know the baby was on the way.

Hi Janine,

Clever. Humorous. She was as blase about this as he was.

Regards, Mike

Hi Janine,
I don't like Frank. Now, Jillian, I like. She is so calm at such a stressful situation and yet was able to keep her cool and burn his newspaper. This is a fun little story. I do wonder if Frank would realize that his wife's water broke and not that she was peeing. He seems the type not to know such things.
