January 16, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a protest story. It can be about a protest, or you can investigate the word and expand the idea. Who is protesting, where, and why? Go where the prompt leads!
“It’s not fair,” protested Mike, as he paced up and down his hotel room. “One of them should have been here by now.”
He hated the thought of the newlyweds sleeping together.
***
Two floors above, while holding an oversized pillow in his hands, Doug angrily protested to his new wife that she had probably cheated on him. “It’s not fair; how can you have wanted to sleep with somebody else and not me?”
***
“It’s not fair,” Sophie quietly protested to herself, while looking somewhat worryingly at her husband. “That spiked drink I gave you should have worked by now.”

Hugh's Views & News 
Oh goodness, coming here from part 1. Beginning to get intense!
Yes, these three characters have a lot going on in their lives.
How lovely there is a part II to this story, Hugh. Love your “It’s not fair” approach. But, who will get to sleep with whom? Waiting anxiously for part III!
I hope there will be a part 3, Liesbet. It all depends on next week’s prompt. However, I could continue the story without the prompt. Glad you’re enjoying it.
Fairness truly is in the eye of the beholder. Brilliant!!
I agree with your ‘fairness’ quote, Donna.
Oh, oh, someone ended up with a double dose! This is turning into an interesting mystery, Hugh 🙂
I hope I can carry on with the story from next week’s prompt, Jacquie.
The circle of protest!
Indeed. One never knows what other’s have on their mind.
Not at all ,💜
Great story, Hugh.So twisted. I like the different perspectives on what’s “not fair.”
Thanks, Diana. Some readers wanted me to carry on with last week’s story I entered for this challenge. I sure am glad that Charli (at the Carrot Ranch) came up with a prompt I could use.
