Hello Dear Readers! It’s Wedfrinesday again. Where writers are challenged to stretch their synapses in the Making-Stuff-Up Hemisphere of the brain every Friday by writing a 100-word story from a picture prompt posted on Wednesday by Rochell Wisoff-Fields!
I know it sounds confusing the way I’m explaining it. But that’s because while I was stretching my synapses, I got a cramp . . .
Just go here if you want to join in: Rochelle Wisoff-Fields Addicted to Purple Blog it’s fun! (Be sure to hit the refresh button for the latest picture prompt.)
Calling Charlie
When Sally saw the condition of the phone, her heart — which was located almost in the middle of her chest — (but too far to the left for her boyfriend, Charlie’s liking) — sank.
Sally’s eyes welled up with tears nearly simultaneously-; the right welling faster than the left (something Charlie abhorred). Sally grabbed the receiver with her right-hand while wiping tears away with her left and dialed Charlie’s number with her nose — located basically in the middle (but off centered enough to be unattractive Charlie thought) of Sally’s face.
When Charley didn’t answer, it was just as well.

Okay, this line sold it for me: Sally’s eyes welled up with tears nearly simultaneously-; the right welling faster than the left (something Charlie abhorred). Wonderfully written!
Ah so glad to hear it sold you, KD! That Sally’s quite a talented crier. She really ought to turn pro! 😀
Dear Linda,
Sally’s quite the character. Forget about Charlie!
So sorry about your synapses cramp. Hate it when that happens.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I agree! I hate it when my synapses cramp! And I agree to forget about Charlie, who obviously can’t appreciate her uniqueness. This was my favorite line: “but too far to the left for her boyfriend, Charlie’s liking”.
Hope you’re having a goofy Thursday!

You are so right Rochelle! Sally’s one goofy girl! She suffers a great deal from synapses cramps too, I suspect! 😀
If Charlie dislikes so many things about her he should move on so that someone who will appreciate all her uniqueness can love her!
Oh LIngeringvisions, you said it! She may have to break up with Charlie and find someone more her type. I wonder if Jerry Lewis is still single.
I don’t even know if he is still alive! 😉
Was her heart off-center to her left or his? In which case, it would be to his right. Now I’m giving myself synapses cramps.
In either case, this story was just far enough off-center for me to click the “Like” button.
Ah thanks Russell. I don’t know if it was her left or his left, Is there a mirror involved in that anywhere? Please tell me no. I’ll just hit the like button too (it’s the one on the right, right?)
hahahaha! Yup. Just as well. Great!
Ah! thanks Wm! 😀
If only Sally’s fist was centered to the right of Charlie’s face. He deserves a good punch!
Hahahahah! 😀
Neurotics are always more interesting, and your strange tale was lovely, darling.
Thank you Helena! 😀
I’m thinking Sally should ditch Charlie. He is much too critical 🙂
Haha Carrie! I totally agree! 😀
a lop-sided story 😉
Hahaha! Bucky you always hit the nail on the head (Even if Sally can’t quite! 😀
ahaha, maybe if she leaned a little..
Charming + cute.
Ah thank you! ;D
hehe eee.. 🙂
:D!!
Charlie’s relationship with Sally is really out of kilter. Which is a pity, as her heart (despite Charlie’s prejudices) seems to be in the right place. And she clearly has a dexterous nose.
Applaud your writing skills. 🙂
Just imagine how upset Charlie would be to hear that Sally’s heart is lower than it was that morning.
LOL! Charlie is going to be freaking out! (He’ll probably have to be sedated!)
Love!
Thanks Pink! You are so sweet! 😀
This story made me smile!
So glad you liked ti Hannah. 😀
Frankly if all Sally’s body parts are too much on one side or the other, I don’t blame Charlie a bit. Unless he’s perfectly off-center the other way!
Ha ha! I guess when you really think about it, Sally leaves a lot to be desired – plumb wise.
Yep, much better off without Charlie – really made me laugh, this one!
Oh thanks Trudy – glad you liked it!
I thank Charlie should be ready to be
dear John …
Good Call Bjorn! And congratulations on your Trifecta win!
How did she get like this? Was it Charlie? Or Charley?
Petrujvilgoen! Good question. I have no idea. My brain comes to a screeching when it reaches 100 words! LOL! 😀
That was simply beautiful. Your little details tell a lot about Charlie. Just as well he didn’t answer. 🙂
Thank you David! And thank you for stopping by to check out my little story! 😀
I would bet if Charlie owned a mirror he would discover thing about himself he did not like,
I bet he would too. And I bet it would be just the opposite of what he was expecting! 😀
Great little tale, superbly constructed.
Loved it.
Oh thank you so much anelephantcant! 😀
I’d let Charlie go… no really. Liked this.
Oh so glad Sandra! 😀 I think it’s time she she signed up for Match.com! 😀
ha! brilliant. ^^
Oh I’m so glad you liked it kz!
