Micro/ Flash Fiction Theme: Awkward
Title: Someone’s In Trouble
Coming home earlier than usual, I heard the sounds of groaning and slapping flesh coming from my husband’s office.
Flushed full of rage, I banged on the locked door.
There was a loud commotion, then silence. My disheveled husband cracked open the entryway.
“Honey…I’m busy. This is an awkward time–” my husband tried to explain.
“There is a smear of red on your collar,” I interrupted. “Show me who is inside. ”
Chastised, he opened the door.
A bloody, half-beaten-to-death gangster was tied to a chair.
“I told you not to bring this type of work home,” I hissed.
