When did you plan this?
Don’t go there, it doesn’t matter.
Please, tell me, I need to know, when?
I’ve been planning it for ages, ever since we had that argument at New Year.
That is what is behind all this?
I am surprised you are surprised.

So am I going to die?
We are all going to die, sweetheart.
But am I going to die now?
I’d say that is becoming increasingly likely.
Why are you doing this to me?
You know why.
Why do you hate me so much?
Look, don’t start. Just drink it and get it over with.
Please, do I have to?
It’s your own fault. Drink it!
But why are you making me do this?
Because every time we go out for a nice meal to make up, you have to have the seafood.
Now drink your Milk of Magnesia.

This was my second prompt. It still makes me chuckle. Mainly because I had forgotten then end.

Fantastic. Love that last line turning murderer into caring (okay, so maybe slightly slefish) partner. Very cleverly done.

Oh Dear Elephant – I almost missed this. I am soo very glad you popped over and added this great piece of fiction. I actually know a gent who loves seafood, but is allergic – he takes meds before and after eating it. Really why eat something that will make you sick?
I adore the twist in the end. And I also laughed out loud. Sometimes when your tummy rumbles you do so feel like you are gonna expire…sooner than later.
Three cheers!!!

AnElephantCant deny this is easy
He just knocks out some prose to amaze
It requires no effort
Does not disturb his comfort
And it only takes 4 or 5 days

AnElephant is great with his fiction
Better than any rhino or giraffe
What a great twist
Not easily missed
And that really gave me a laugh
Thank you for taking part 😀

AnElephantCant argue with Alastair
He really does not enjoy fighting
And to tell you the truth
The rhino’s uncouth
And the giraffe is rubbish at writing
