Aheila does a weekly drabble day on her blog. She selects a theme and writes a drabble (a short story of exactly 100 words) and we are invited to write one of our own using the same theme word (plus or minus five words), post it on our blog then link to it in her comments.
Today’s theme is Guest and there are extra points if we “avoid the unwanted guest twist”. In my story, the guest is most definitely wanted, perhaps a little too much. Mine’s EXACTLY 100 words.
Guest
Sarah and I hid in the dumpster outside the studios, but the cramped space and smell had begun to take their toll. I had at least six mosquito bites too.
“You think he’ll like our Stonehenge model?” Sarah asked, a hint of doubt in her voice.
“Of course he will. It’s exactly the right size for his mantel, six inches.”
“What if he’s with his wife?”
“All the better. She’s cool.” Despite what I told Sarah, I hoped he’d be alone.
“Here he comes!”
We both burst from the dumpster and yelled, “Christopher Guest! Mr. Guest! We’re your biggest fans!”

This is awesome! I love how you used the prompt. Nice job!
Thank you so much for the read and nice comment, Dana!
*laughs* Awesome use of the prompt. I like all the little details giving away just how crazy about him the girls are.
Thanks, Aheila! This one was easy and fun to write. In my MUCH younger and sillier years, I might have been one of those girls.
Nice one, Claire. It took me by surprise as I’m sure it did Christopher Guest. 😉
(I hope this doesn’t go to spam. I’m posting from my phone. 😉 )
Thanks! Glad you tweeted that you’d commented. You with your stealth phone. You never show up as a hit when you use it and your comment HAD indeed gone to spam. It’s rescued now as you can see. I’ll pop over to read yours in a bit. Cheers!
They’re IN the dumpster? That’s some devoted fans!
Very, very devoted, but also less likely to be shooed off by Security for loitering. I should have made their Stonehenge model 6 centimeters instead of 6 inches though…snort… If you’ve seen Spinal Tap, you’ll get my joke.
I guess that Mr Guest definitely turned out to be a ‘wanted’ guest ! Nice angle Claire !
Hey Mish!! Thank you! Wanted by these 2 gals, that’s for sure. LOL
Hee! Loved this. The stonehenge reference immediately made me think Spinal Tap, but I didn’t connect the dots until the very end. This was a fun one!
Oh whew! Glad the Spinal Tap nod wasn’t too remote the for the readers. One of my most favoritist movies EVAH!!
that is hilarious!
i wonder how he reacted…
nice to see you =)
Hey Tara! Thanks for the read. He might have been happy to see them but they probably didn’t smell too good by then. LOL
