Mind Your Head #flashfiction #3LineTales

Mind Your Head – by Hugh W. Roberts

Michelle loved ‘Caution – Mind Your Head’, the only place where nobody had to queue.

After removing her head, she made her way to the oiling room; the place where creaks and squeaks were made obsolete.

In thirty minutes, Michelle would once again be reunited with her head, now free of any nasty viruses.

Written in response to the Three Line Tale challenge hosted by Sonya at Only 100 Words.

    I love it. No masks, no social distancing. Just switch your head out.
    Like the way you think :)

      Thank you, Aimer. Maybe this is a story that will come true one day? Who knows?

    Does it cater for the restoration of other body parts? When you go could you pick up a brochure and price list?

      I believe optional extras are available. However, payment is via wi-fi time. Are you willing to give up all your monthly wi-fi allowance?

    If only there were a download so that we could get back some of the missing files.

    Hahaha, love it, Hugh! Perfect twist to the image. I need to visit there with my head after downloading and uploading loan docs all afternoon 🙄

      Sounds like you’re keeping your head busy, Terri. That’s good to hear. And it’ll always has a great outcome.

    Well done, Hugh. While creepy, it could make sense. But I don’t want to try this one out. :-)

      In the words of Rod Serling – “this story is set in the future; in a hundred years; maybe tomorrow.” I like that thought, Liesbet.

      I know a lot of people saying the same thing, Willow. I think it’s called getting a haircut. Thank goodness I clipper my own hair.

      Yes, I’m sure it would. My fingers are crossed that there will be a vaccine soon.

    What’s the address, Hugh, my squeaks need tending and my head certainly needs examining 😂😂😂

      Ah, that would be telling, Chris. I need to see them first. I’ll leave a review if they’re good. Michelle highly recommends them, though.

    A good one!! When I first visited England I got a kick out of the mind your head signs (and mind the gap).

      I always think of the London underground when I hear or see ‘mind the gap.’ I don’t think I’ve ever seen it being displayed anywhere else.
