Saturday Centus




I've been meaning to try my hand at Saturday Centus for a while and it looks like this is the week!  For those of you unfamiliar with this meme, it revolves around a writing prompt provided by our 'hostess', Jenny Matlock.  Usually you have a 100 word limit, not including the prompt, but this week the limit is 25 words.  For those of us who get too 'wordy' it was a challenge!  This week's prompt...the lottery ticket.
So, without further ado, here's my first attempt.

                                                                        Sweet Revenge

With the receipt for the lottery ticket securely in his pocket, he made the call.  "Hey Darlin'," he purred into his ex-wife's voicemail.  "Catch the 11 o'clock news."

Having a blogger problem linking to the button.  To get to Jenny's blog just use this link for now.  http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/2011/01/saturday-centus-hey-wake-up-its-another.html

  13. Like it a lot. Especially bitter if she put up with loads of junk for years then left him. And especically bitter if she had been awful and he left her. Lovely perspective bender :)
