Ficlets

A Very Specific Narrative (challenge)

The day I ruined my boyfriend’s favorite sweater started off wonderfully.
I was so excited to finally be at the concert of my dreams.
For one night only at the Sundome in Tampa, FLORIDA : DOLLY PARTON and ROD STEWART live!
Everyone was making an appearance, I even saw MR.T in the audience.
Dolly was wearing a PURPLE gown DECORATED with patches of ANIMAL print. Rod wore a simple pinstriped suit.
Everything was perfect until I had an ATTACK of nausea.
When I had come home from work that day THE PICKLES WERE ON THE TABLE . I couldn’t resist eating twelve.
“I TOLD YOU NOT TO EAT THAT !” My boyfriend whispered when he saw the look of desperation on my face. I couldn’t even reply without spewing chunks of pickles all over him and his favorite sweater.
“I’M SORRY ABOUT THE SWEATER .” I said as I hung my head in shame for the rest of the concert.

We haven’t spoken since.
