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.

    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.

    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.

      Thank you, Penny. It seems to have gone down well with readers. Short, but sweet.

  8. Charli Mills avatar

    Oh, I laughed so hard, Hugh! Brilliant twists that just kept getting better. Well done!

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      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.

  9. Liesbet @ Roaming About avatar

    Brilliant! I’m wondering who made it as well. Time to start creating flash fiction for a third book? :-)

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      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 …

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      Thank you. Sometimes, it only takes a few words to wow your audience.

      1. ellenbest24 avatar

        I do not Wow easily. X

        1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

          That’s a huge compliment. Thank you, Ellen.

    Brilliant last line! Interesting triangle. :)

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      Thanks, Debby. Maybe now it’s a broken triangle?

      1. dgkaye avatar

        I’m thinking so! :)

  12. Elizabeth avatar

    Love it! I’m happy you are writing short stories again!

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      It’s been a long time since I last write a piece of flash fiction, Elizabeth. For some reason, I seemed to go off the boil with them. I’m bubbling away again now.

  13. Marje @ Kyrosmagica avatar

    Oh, this is excellent Hugh. Really made me laugh! Who will it be?

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      Who indeed, Marje. Maybe neither of them?

  14. Norah avatar

    I’d like to know who Mike ends up with too. :)

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      In these 99-word pieces of flash fiction, I like to leave it up to the reader to decide. Depending on Charli’s prompt next week, maybe we could find out.

      1. Norah avatar

        I think it’s always good to leave a bit of mystery in your story.
