And here’s another reason why this creative writing website I found for my drabble prompts is so unpredictable but fun.  Today’s topic, #302, certainly walks on the weird side:

“Write from the point of view of a spoon inside the dishwasher.”

Some spa this is.  I’ve been sitting in my own stink for days, don’t even want to think about the butcher knife three slots over.  Dude’s probably teeming with E Coli or worse by now. 

Hold the phone, is that a teaspoon next door?

“Well hey there, Darlin’.  Lookin’ good and I’m guessing you’re mighty sweet too.  You been dippin’ in the chocolate mousse, ice cream or sugar bowl?”

Friggin’ glassware think they’re so high and mighty. “Pipe down up there!  Cutlery seduction in process!” 

“As I was saying, once you’ve been with a Tablespoon, you’ll never nestle with another.”

Ba-dum-dum. Hey! I only had a hundred words!

“Come up with 10 good reasons you shouldn’t write your life story.”

Not fictional fodder, but blame that on the prompt.  The numerals aren’t included in the word count for you purists.  Here goes:

1.  I haven’t done anything worthy of taking the time to jot it down.

2.  I’m a late bloomer; the good stuff always comes later in life for me than for the average bear. Check back in a decade .

3.  Those who would buy it probably already know most of the juicy bits.

4.  Those who would buy it probably shouldn’t know the remaining juicy bits.

5.  I’m not a huge risk taker.

6.  I’m not rich.

7.  I’ve never preserved a sex tape.

8.  I’ve never murdered anyone.

9.  I’ve never made a viral YouTube video.

10.  I’d much rather write fiction that includes all of the above.
