Now there's a slice of life for you! I like your unusual take on the prompt. Excellent job!
ReplyDelete"Invasive entertainments once the lights went out." Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI like your take on the prompt. Very well done.
I'd do all I could to get into solitary! Good one.
ReplyDeleteps. Your link on Gargleblaster goes to http://www.notjustanothermotherblogger.com/2014/06/confession.html?m=1 which takes you to a page which isn't formatted properly. If you drop the ?m=1 from the end i.e. http://www.notjustanothermotherblogger.com/2014/06/confession.html you get to the properly formatted story.

great take on the prompt, I shivered reading it.
So clever and creative, great job!
ReplyDeleteOh man, poor guy. Loved the play on singing here.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd be that person to rat my boss out. I'm not going to jail for anyone.
ReplyDeleteJeeze I'd hope he would change his mind and make that deal after dealing with that!
ReplyDeleteCreepy--I knew there was a reason I'm a law-abiding citizen (for the most part).
ReplyDeleteThe first line of this poem opened up like the opening sequence of a film! Such skill!

ReplyDeleteInteresting take on the prompt...I'd let go off my loyalty in a tick too in that situation!
