Saturday Centus #40

It's Saturday Centus again - in a nutshell, Jenny Matlock gives us a prompt from either herself or a guest submitter and then we have to write 100 or words less related to the prompt (the prompt doesn't count toward the 100 words) Then link it up to her blog. It's open until the following Saturday, so that means you have all week to participate by either reading or writing.  http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/search/label/Saturday%20Centus

The prompt is in bold.


Sean finally told the doctor about his problem.  He gave him some samples to try.  He took one and then called his wife. 

“I did it”, he said.  

“I’ll be waiting”.

As he walked in the house, the lights were turned down.  He could smell the scented candles burning.  The anticipation; it was growing bigger by the minute.

” Are you ready to try”? She said.

“Yeah, I think so”.

She changed into her nightclothes and opened the bedroom door.  She heard snoring.   “Thank goodness, the insomnia is gone and I’ll be able to get some sleep tonight”.

    I laughed so hard I scared the cat! This was really clever. I wondered if someone was going to take the prompt in this direction. Love the twist at the end! Kat

    Oh my goodness! I adore this one! Reminds of the years I spent as an insomniac...you'd do anything for a good night's sleep. Glad the wife was able to get some rest, too!

    I too was thinking this was going in the wrong direction (non PG rating -lol) but you had a nice little twisty ending there - E :)
