NO HELP by Granny Annie
Alice was returning from work and the market when Jerry handed her another bag. It held his success of the wasted day...a large, plump pheasant.
"Cook this for our dinner tonight Alice!" Jerry demanded. Her mean, unemployed husband then headed for the pub to congregate with his friends and brag about his hunt. He did not bother to offer helping carry the bags into the house for her.
Alice stood in her kitchen feeling an impulse to throw everything on the floor. She knew that Jerry would fill himself up with wine and then invite half the bar to come for dinner. She also knew if the meal was not ready on time, a hazard would ensue.
A beautiful light dawned on Alice and a smile crossed her face. A strong surging strength filled her heart and she knew what to do. She placed the bloody bird in the center of the table along with a note that read, "Here is your dinner. Enjoy." and she walked out the door for good.
Hooray Alice, you go girl!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Alice. She did exactly what I would have done. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
Well played, Alice
ReplyDeleteYou go Alice. Jerry has that coming and more. Have a great life without the bum.
ReplyDeleteHOORAY for Alice.
ReplyDeleteMy mean self would have put a note on the table saying your dinner is in the oven. And put the naked, unplucked, undressed bird in there.
You made me feel her tension, and the release.
ReplyDeleteGood for Alice, she'll find a better life without him.
ReplyDeleteGreat one Granny Annie!!!
