Another 100 word story for today’s A-Z Challenge. And, no, this one didn’t win any prizes either…
Kitekat Bob
“You love that bloody cat more than me,” moaned Ian.
“That’s not true,” I said, filling Bob’s bowl with organic double cream and rubbing his head.
“It’s him or me,” said Ian, as he headed up to the loo.
Tears came to my eyes; how could I choose between Ian and Bob?
There was a huge thud from upstairs, followed by series of bumps and a loud meow. I ran into the hallway. Ian was sprawled motionless across the bottom steps, blood pooling under his head.
Bob peered down from the top step.
I smiled. “Extra Kitekat for you, Bob.”
