January 9, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about a carried wife. Why is she being carried? Who is carrying? Pick a genre if you’d like and craft a memorable character. Go where the prompt leads!
While carrying his new wife over the threshold of the honeymoon suite, Doug’s eyes lit up at the size of the massive bed in front of him.
Those pillows were big enough to suffocate his new wife for cheating on him.
***
Landing on the bed, Sophie looked at her new husband and wondered how long it would be before the spiked drink she had made Doug consume, would knock him out cold so she could spend the night with Mike, Doug’s best friend.
***
Two floors below, Mike wondered which of the newlyweds would be joining him in bed tonight.
Written in response to the 99-word flash fiction challenge hosted by Charli Mills at the Carrot Ranch.

This is hilariously funny.
I’m glad you think so. It’s a situation that I’m sure must happen on a regular basis.
Not in real life, but in fiction, yes quite regularly. 😂
You’re right , Hugh, even in Kerala — its become common.
Oh WOW! Not off to a good start. On my way to read part 2. I pinned this! Thanks so much for linking up with me at my #AThemedLinkup 10 for All Things Love and Valentine’s Day, open until February 10.
You’re welcome. As ‘love’ was also the theme of your linkup, I thought this a great post to add.
Indeed it was :)
After your comment on part 2 of this saga, I had to come over and read part 1. Sounds like trouble! Now there has to be a part 3. :-)
Fingers crossed that next week’s prompt is one I can work with for the story, Diana. If not, I’ll have to write it as a stand-alone short story.
Love this ,Hugh! :)
Thank you, Penny. It seems to have gone down well with readers. Short, but sweet.
Oh, I laughed so hard, Hugh! Brilliant twists that just kept getting better. Well done!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed and laughed, Charli. I had great fun writing this. People seem to want to know more about Doug, Sophie and Mike. We’ll see.
Brilliant! I’m wondering who made it as well. Time to start creating flash fiction for a third book? :-)
No plans for a third book at the moment, Liesbet, but who knows?
Bravo, what a ‘double entendre’ I loved its simplicity as the thoughts rumpled the sheets of their match truly made …
Thank you. Sometimes, it only takes a few words to wow your audience.
I do not Wow easily. X
That’s a huge compliment. Thank you, Ellen.
