The weekend challenge: Start with these 5 words and turn it in to a story of only 33 words. The 5 word prompt is NOT to be
counted in the 33 words.Title: "Mr. Businessman"
The phone rang at 4am.
“Good morning.” Her voice was pleasant but unfamiliar. “This
is your scheduled wakeup call. The weatherman says today will be sunny and 43º.”
He was slow to respond. “Um, ma’am? Where am I?”
Ha! A fun response to the prompt. I'd love to read more of this story.
ReplyDeleteAh, the confusing early morning call.
ReplyDeleteThat's great!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Never would have thought of a wake-up call. I love how everyone has a different interpretation of the 4 AM call.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a nice intro to a mystery.
ReplyDeleteWhy? WHY? I need to know why he doesn't know where he is.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tease, in a very good way.
Came from the Trifextra linkup.
Well done! I'm completely intrigued!
ReplyDeleteSo funny. I totally thought about doing a wake-up call as well. In fact, mine is a wake-up call...just in a different way. Great minds...
ReplyDeleteI agree with previous comments! I'd love to read more.
ReplyDeleteI remember the headaches as well from the previous evening.
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing!

ReplyDeleteAnyone who has travelled a lot, having to hop from place to place to place, can attest to the truth in what you write :)

Oh, how I remember the days of my past when I traveled so much I lost track of location. Great response to the prompt!
ReplyDeleteThat's very funny! And also, apparently, quite true. Great post!
