One Of Those Days

[Kristine_ES]

Kelly was hunched in the bathroom stall deep breathing through the latest round of morning sickness when the door opened and the lights went out.

“Hey, I’m in here!” she hollered and the lights blipped back on.

She heard 'clip clip clip’  then familiar chicken feet appeared in the stall next to hers, twisted nails all done up in dusty pink polish, sandals just this side of work-appropriate. Then the whistling started. Kelly wanted nothing more than to run out of there, but the nausea came back a little worse knowing what was coming: the occupant next door never washed her hands before leaving the bathroom.

Minnie, the raisin-eyed, lemon-lipped, pink-haired prune who worked in the credit department approached Kelly in the hall later and threatened to spit on her keyboard while she was on vacation if she told anyone she likes to pee in the dark, then clip clip clipped away whistling “It’s A Small World After All.”

you just totally ruined my favorite ride at Disney... but damn, you did it well. superb details girln and just the right bit of humor. kinda wicked.

[Judy Thompson]

You write too well, Kristine;  I can see every bit of this as it plays out, and really really wish I couldn't.   It doesn't get any better than this, and no, if this is semi-fiction, I really don't want to know which bits are real...

Maybe I won't paint my toenails pink, after all. 

[Mike Handley]

Magically delicious.

[Jadie Jones]

[Stephen Torelli]

A unique twist of life.

[Teresa]

Awesome!  The world is a disturbing place!!  Faved.

[Sandra Davies]

I am more glad than ever that most of the time I worked from home.  

This is disturbingly unique in its observation and reporting yet evokes an almost plausible scenario.   Glad the morning sickness is fiction too - wouldn't like you to be not writing for that sort of excuse reason
