This week is the first time I’ve taken part in the “Mindlovesmisery” writing challenges. This week we are to write a story in 100 words or less. The host site offered a picture for inspiration, but I put that aside because the idea I wanted to work with didn’t fit that particular picture. To take part you can visit here.
LAST-MINUTE DECISIONS
The auditorium was full of guests, the organist waiting for her cue. The best man stood at the door, ready to enter as soon as the groom came back inside. He’d just stepped out for some air. Where the heck was he?
Suddenly Carter hurried into the room, passed by his best man, and entered the auditorium. Looking at the guests, he took a deep breath and spoke:
“Sorry folks. Seems my bride eloped with someone else.” He laughed. “She took the car I’d arranged for my own last-minute escape.”

The Happy Wordcrafter 
Oh Sandra you should try stand up comedy, you make me laugh so often!
I used to write really serious stuff almost all the time. But as the world seems to be struggling more and more with the negative things in life, I find myself looking for more funny — even hilarious — ideas to write about. And the surprising thing to me is that a lot of funny stuff really does come to mind.
A smiler, a laugh out louder — nice for a rather dreary Saturday night.
Glad to know it made you laugh. Thanks for reading.
LOL – A great power short. Nice twist!
I agree with Lucid! 🙂
