Introduced in February 2013 – an invitation, a prompt, a linky. Write exactly a 100 words on the prompt and publish it on your blog – a story, a poem, a mini-essay. The linky will be open right up to next Friday, after which I will have a new prompt and a fresh linky.
100 Words On Saturday 8 Prompt: RUFFLE/D FEATHERS
She reminded him that the electricity bill was due.
“Why are we using so much electricity? I know you have no value for my hard earned money. If you had to work, you’d know”, he thundered.
“I would work if you let me,” she replied.
His voice went up several decibels, “I don’t trust you.”
“Why not? I’m not the one who drinks and gambles”, she dared to say.
He raised the bottle and hit her hard on the head. She fell. Dead. Like a lifeless bird.
“She always knew how to ruffle my feathers.” he said.

Some stark and brutal imagery here, Corinne. Brilliantly done!
Blessings!
Dark side of mankind depicted here, different than your other posts. It reeks of creativity.
Wow! Very different from what I am used to read here. Good one indeed.
🙁
Sad, but true. A dark reality.
Oh! that was sad.
Sad that this happens all too much!
Wow! this certainly is not the happy ending one would hope for.
That ruffling of feathers ended up being too costly 🙁
Well written, Corinne.
What a horrid, evil man.
This is brilliant!!

Ruffled feathers… that sure aced that prompt in my book 🙂
Hi Corinne,
It was really a very sad ending but brilliantly done.
Sapna
Very well written and something that happens so very often. I have enjoyed visiting your site!
Hey Corinne,
Creativity! They just come in to your mind? 🙂 Brutal, but well played with 100 words.
I’ve heard this one several times at several places ~ “Why are we using so much electricity? I know you have no value for my hard earned money. If you had to work, you’d know”
Sometimes lives are not easy peacy, but there’s a silver lining 😉
Cheers…
Hi Corinne,
I think you created a mini scene of a couple having a row with it ending in a deadly fashion, brilliantly.
Thank you.
Sad story but you have written well
Wow! That was so powerful, and I liked the connection between the “ruffled my feathers” comment and her dropping like a dead bird. Sad, but powerful. Well done.
WoW! Amazing! I see you growing in your creative writing right before my eyes! You got a lot of power out of very few words! That shows incredible talent! Well done!
Domestic violence is so common yet we don’t do much about it. It is scary that we actually allow this type of behavior/violence to perpetuate.
nice one ma’am. this clearly shows the male dominating society especially in India. it really requires a change for the upcoming innovating era….
