Another offering for Sarah Faxon’s Flash Fiction Friday prompt. Both of this week’s prompts were great but I decided to take Prompt 1: Something explodes at the grocery store in a silly direction.
“Hey Conor, it’s about to get a little messy in here!”
Wise’s tomato hued visage curled into a wicked grin.
I knew better than to ask at this point. He had been an unrepentant agent of chaos for as long as I’d known him. And, truth be told, his rapport with the insatiable imp of the perverse had produced deliciously insane comedy gold time and again.
A piercing cry of unadulterated horror rose from the direction of the bathroom as I finished paying, followed by an audible BOOM.
I casually pocketed the change.
“Want to get some coffee?”
“Love to!”

I audibly chuckled.
Not gonna lie, I click in and the image along with the title had me already giggling like a 5th grader before I even got started… 🙈
