A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in Sammi’s Comment Section
Click here to hear the author read his words:
Useless
He is bone idle.
We work together, but I do everything.
Any heavy work to be done, he disappears.
He arrives late, lingers over lunch, and leaves early.
I try reasoning, I try pleading.
Nothing.
Finally I threaten him.
I am sitting on the ground nursing a broken nose.
There is nothing languid about his left hook.
You draw me right into the long-suffering frustration of the progression… to the (anti)climax. And it’s so well underlined by the ‘in yer face’ graphic. Great combination. (I hope you sacked him!)
You weren’t exactly boxing clever – unfortunately, he was!
Dear CE,
That should put an end to the dispute.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Oy. Well, time to contact HR …
