"I don't think you're supposed to eat that!"
I could see Granny Mae dancing in fairy circles. It was her laughter that caught my attention. Strange how she could appear so carefree when Grandpa had been missing for three days.
At that moment the laundry door swung open. I could see Grandpa on the tiles motionless and wearing nothing but his trademark grin. I spun in time to watch Simon devour the last mouthful of apple pie.
“I don’t think you’re supposed to eat that.” I said as I turned and walked outside to join Granny in her fairy dance.
Simon had always been a pig, as much as Grandpa had always been a pig, but at least now I might get to drive the Porsche.

Not familiar with these…but what a write! Incredible imagery here, made me giggle out loud! Good luck if it’s a challenge. A great and completely unusual write! Love it! XOXOXOXOXOXXO
A new idea for Flash Fiction, you have to go into the forum to see what’s going on, thanks for the compliment Shar, it’s not a regular thing l do but it is challenging to get a story out in less than 150 words, have a go, it’s fun, or frustrating, I forget.

If Saki wrote twenty-first century flash fiction…. Great stuff, macabre but dispassionate. Granny Mae got freedom, Simon got the pie, you got the car and Grandpa is oblivious to it all! Everyone’s a winner!
I admit, I had to google Saki ……macarbre and cruel satire on the Edwardian social scene, it seems you read me better than I do, at least now I know where the crime takes place, I am honoured, thanks for stopping to read, and a bonus, I got to learn something new, thanks again!

no more pigs in the Porsche…although I kinda like that image…would make a nice poster…xxx
Poster sounds cool. cartoon or photo? I like the idea of borrowing a real porsche for the shoot, then explaining the mess when we return it.
…and for the cartoon we’d need an artist. let me think, where could I find one, artist or photographer, hmmm, tricky, do you know any???
