Excellent When you're on the phone Catching up on the news ... by Wendy G 100 Word Story writing prompt entry

My daughter phones me when she has opportunity. She is a great talker; I am a listener. Time passed; I heard all her news and views about everything, with a very occasional opportunity to comment. Suddenly there was an extremely loud bang. “Gotta go!” There was a note of urgency. “Are you alright?” No answer. I was anxious. Hours later, another phone-call. “I’ve been cleaning and scrubbing my whole apartment: floors, ceiling, and on, behind and under all the furniture, and I’ve washed all my curtains! I forgot I was boiling eggs while we chatted. They boiled dry and exploded!” Writing Prompt Write a story of 100 words. Any subject accepted. Must be exactly 100 words. Author Notes I wanted to call this ''Uneggspected eggsplosion'', but I didn't want to give away the ending! (I was reminded of this after reading Paul Manton's Minute poem.)
