Butthead

“No I don’t want a cheese biscuit shaped like a giraffe.
What do I look like I am two?
Yes I am grumpy today.
And I don’t like your stupid red dress with all those blots and spots… it looks like you fell in a puddle.
Don’t stare at me like that either!
Just get another carafe of that wine and be quick about.
Oh and while you’re about it don’t forget my book I lent you.
Suppose you never did read it being such a light-weight in the brain department anyway….”

Here’s your book and fare for a taxi.

" Well I never! What a rude oxymoron!"

You’re such a perfect idiot.

About Arcadia Tempest

Feelings and words fall on to the page
Sometimes they bite back
Sometimes they tug on our sleeve
Sometimes they have a cheeky grin
They stay once a page has found them
Words are faithful to us even in the dark

    ooh love this KS, not sure I could do anything with ALL those words,,,well not right now anyway.
    Not long home after a night out with my mate (it’s nearly 5.30am) Time flies sometimes…way too fast. Anyway this is great and I agree that I would be sending the rude oxymoron on his way as well! =)

  • It was a good writing excercise this flash, have not done any more as yet.
    I do recommend giving them a go though. And yes time has flown….already half way through Jan!!

    Ok. Someone has had it with this dreary day I take it? With the challenge I guess they did not specify that you HAD to be happy after all!
