September 6: Flash Fiction Challenge
Space…the Final Frontier
Words, like hammers, pound into me …again. “Isn’t there ONE SINGLE SPACE in this house where I can put my things?”
Tears beg release. Manly things are piled on sofas, beds, tables, and floors in every room. A year after moving in, I’m still an intruder in a man’s sanctuary.
The tirade continues but, through patio doors, a shady table and chair await me. Abutting the grass is a lovely pond, with a serene view of ducklings following mama.
He storms out and, laptop in hand, I sigh, stepping through the door to a warm breeze and epic workplace.
Excellent! I’m so happy to have you back again!

Thanks Jan, I was in a funky mood when I started the story and feeling cramped so I had to change the tide for the ending.

Vickie, your flash expresses the discomfort of not having one’s space and feeling trapped, but then to step outside. It feels a relief.
