Jenny Matlock

The delivery-man smiled at Maria, as he and his assistent lifted her new chair into the lift. She stepped also onboard to follow them to the sixth floor, and marveled at how the chair dominated the small room. The tiny lift made it look enormous. It was crowded with three people and the chair, when the lift suddenly stopped between floors.

'I'll get help', said one of the men, pressing the emergency button.


But nothing happened for more than an hour, until Maria remembered her mobil phone and called emergency services.

Three hours later, Maria could finally sit down in her new chair. She fell asleep.

Welcome to week ninety-five of Saturday Centus.


Hi Centusians. I'm anxious to read your autobriefographies! I'm hoping to be all caught up this weekend!

How about a weird but more 'traditional' prompt this week.


This is my picture for the week. Feel free to use a picture of any chair in any room and write your story around that, though.

The prompt this week is: The chair dominated the small room



Number of words: 100 PLUS the six words of the prompt for a maximum of 106 words.
Style of writing: Any
Pictures: As many extra pictures as you like




The regular restrictions apply: PG, no splitting of the prompt, play nicely and visit the other entries, any style or genre of writing you prefer.

Please display my link button or just a hyper-link back to Saturday Centus. Be careful to link your SC URL to the Linky and not just link to your main blog.

E-mail me directly with ???'s or ask your question in a comment and I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.

Best wishes,
Anna
