CAR CRASH

 

CAR CRASH

Ellie was stacking shelves – fast-movers at eye-level, own brand goods down low, luxury items up high, and was arranging the top shelf when someone smacked her bum. She whipped round to slap him, unfortunately still holding a tin.

The supervisor, clutching his cheek, escorted Ellie to the manager, who said sorrowfully, “I’ll have to let you go.”

“But it’s his fault for smacking my bum!”

“A pretty girl like you must be used to that.”

“You can stick your job, you sexist pig!” Ellie stormed out.

                 .....

“How was your first day?” asked Mum.

“Same as always – like a car crash.”

Maybe because Rochelle -  https://rochellewisoff.com/ - used my photo this week, it took me ages to think of a story to fit, but here it is, finally. I couldn't fail after completely doing so last week, could I? 

And now I've got this weekly challenge done I can return to the novel I am struggling to bring together - always a difficult stage when you're half-way through, know where you want to end up, but can't quite see the route. But my spirits were lifted considerably this week by a message from a woman who bought a complete set of my LIVING ROCK series a few months ago, asking for another set. Which must mean she enjoyed them enough to want to give a set to a friend. Result!!
