Charli Mills’ latest prompt is
June 14, 2018, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that includes a bouquet. You can explore the meaning of the word or gather a bunch of flowers. Go where the prompt leads.
There’s Nothing More Annoying Than A Smart-Arse.
‘You know, those guys are so annoying, hee-hawing about the wine.’
‘Morgan, they’re young, they…’
‘What is it about wine that brings out pretensions? “Lovely bouquet” and “it has notes of peach and cobblers”. Why don’t they just drink it?’
‘You’re the same, with your car. All horse-power and litres and torque and…’
‘That’s different. They’re technical terms.’
‘You use them to contrafabulate the listener.’
‘You made that up.’
‘You don’t know though. You’re just trying to confuse people.’
‘A bouquet is a bunch of flowers, not a wine scent.’
‘Actually it’s the tertiary aroma, caused…’
‘Shut up, Logan.’
And some bouquets are more important than others – the Vet showing her determination to overcome the opposition in the guise of a four year old…
Funny!

Ha! Nothing worse that trying to voice an annoyance and having someone point out something entirely irrelevant!

Your flash makes me wonder if I might find cars more interesting if their fumes had more bouquet!
