100 Word Challenge For Grown Ups # 37

Julia’s 100 WCGU this we at http://jfb57.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/100-word-challenge-for-grown-ups-week-37/ says this:-

The prompt this week is to go back to last week’s entries. You are to use the last 10 words of the post next to yours and using just 100 words create a story. It may be a follow-on from the previous one or you may like to take it in a different direction.

I’m told that what I have written is quite a bit ‘Off in left field’  and that it will confirm my craziness but hey, I like to play! My section of prompt is ‘walked up to the table slowly, “what is going on?”, here it is.

Growing Table

The medical authority, are battling to control an obesity epidemic, but an abundance of sweets and biscuits covered the office table. There were back-from-a-Transylvanian-holiday treats, and dunkies provided by the plumptious boss. Fresh today, a stack of cakes, brownies and shortbread, courtesy of GT Porky and Co, auditors.

The scrawny dietician walked up to the table slowly, ‘What is going on here?’ ‘Not in my clinic, WE set an example.’ Behind her, the boss’s kilogramically challenged boss, with an epicurean feast of hot cross buns and Easter eggs, retreats, his face flaming, as she swept the booty into the bin.

  1. Ha ha! 😀 I love the playful use of words throughout this one – it makes it feel very much like a faery-tale, or that mixed-up speak used by the Mad Hatter and his crew. It really seems like you’re evoking that spirit, here. Kudos!

  2. The medical authority … sounds like a Government operation … LOL … of course, they would shoot themselves in the foot. A ‘fat’ table at a dietary clinic sounds like a Government operation to me. LOL. Good job, Gilly. I loved this.

  3. This is great. I don’t think it is out in left field at all. The prompts are meant to inspire and I always love the varieties of inspiration that occur. I love reading so many different voices through this challenge.

  4. Pretty humorous write you have here, Gilly.
    I notice you use a lot of words that are not familiar
    to me but the meaning becomes noticable as I
    continue to read. Like – dunkies – I am assuming
    it is a donut that is dunked or biscuit – we eat biscuits
    with eggs for breakfast. Still it is a good write. Enjoy it ….

  5. Not in left field for me either…although I can’t imagine attending that clinic…bet there are a few “kilogramically challenged” folk there! Nice job!

  6. I like it! Well done. Australia is also facing that obesity problem. We all eat far too much.

    I have to say the kids have slowed down on the eating now – when they got here they almost ate us out of house and home. Mr O Jnr 1 has grown SO MUCH since June we had to buy new trousers for school today.

I would love to hear from you . . .
