Following my invite yesterday for further entries to the Short and Sweet 101-word short story series, here’s one I received anonymously this morning.
Are you all right dear?
Are you all right dear? No I’ve fallen off my ladder and injured myself. Mrs Johnson is looking into my face. Please get your husband, tell him Bob has fallen off the ladder and he needs help. I wonder how long I’ll be here, will Mrs Johnson remember to tell her husband. Are you all right dear? Please get your husband, I need help I can’t move please help me. All right dear. Off she goes again. I try to call out but nothing comes out. It’s getting dark. Where is Mr Johnson? Are you all right dear?
