Five Sentence Fiction: YFB

Max and Yavin the badger arrive as I'm having breakfast; they look exhausted, and I rise to give them the comfortable sofa to relax on. 

Their meaty pizza - their reward for pulling an all-nighter overhauling Max's particle accelerator - is placed on the coffee table, and smells way better than my muesli and coffee.

I switch off the TV and offer to pour their soda, which I then do slowly, watching their eyelids droop as I hum a gentle Bavarian lullabye.

After a few minutes, I eat their pizza on my own; I don't like to wake them, and it's a shame to waste it.

Some days I question my ethics.



Inspired by the Five Sentence Fiction prompt "You Fat Bastard"

    Funny, I don't recall seeing that particular prompt. You truly do have no ethics. But you're funny as hell.

      Hey Jayne! Thank you! I expected this to be a quick gig, but as you know, those five sentences still take some time. Indigo x

      Namaste Yam! Five sentences does seem to convey our general mindset. It's an interesting discipline :) Indigo x

    That's not unethical... my parents always taught me to clean my plate. And if the plate's in my house, I consider it mine.
