He Threw My Spaghetti on the Floor

A daily drabble challenge

Today’s random word is FILL.

Because drabbles are short, please consider staying on this page for at least 30 seconds to count as a read. 💕

“That’s enough,” I cried with indignation. His whining could fill an eddy with tears. It was personal. Nobody got to criticize my cooking without a fight.

I spent hours, not to mention blood, sweat and tears, preparing the sauce and cooking the noodles to the perfect consistency.

I gave Stu the ideal amount, and instead of eating it, I watched him stick his fingers into it, scoop up the lot, and toss it to the dog.

Such is the thanks I get for feeding an eight-month-old.

He’d be happiest to stay on the breast.

He wonders, isn’t everyone?

Despite posting daily, while I attend to medical care, I will be off the grid, so please bear with me if my responses and reading of your work are delayed.

Nancy Oglesby writes, “If you are unfamiliar with a drabble, it is a fiction story of exactly 100 words.”

To make the challenge more interesting, each day, she gives a random word prompt.

Don’t miss out on today’s drabble.
