I have written absolutely nothing for three weeks, so the Friday Fictioneers' weekly challenge hosted by https://rochellewisofffields.wordpress.com/ is a great way to dip my toe back in the water.
CUTTING
THE LAWN
“Get your idle bum off that sofa and
cut the grass!”
Terry glared, but he plugged the
lawn-mower into the old kitchen socket and soon the sound of the machine filled
the afternoon.
Sandra was making tea when the power
blew.
Terry stormed into the kitchen and flipped the trip-switch back on. “Where’s the toolbox? I ran over the
cable.”
“Unplug the mower before you fix
it.”
“I know what I’m doing, woman.”
Sandra stood motionless, holding the
teapot and breathing slowly to calm herself.
When she heard the scream she waited
several long seconds before she pulled out the plug.
