July Drabble





100 Word Story has a monthly Photo Prompt. You can submit a drabble inspired by the picture they post. The photo of the fish above was their July prompt. Below is the drabble I wrote for it.

I thought things were better now that the cat has died. But then that long-distance fight with your boyfriend created a new nightmare when in a fit of anger, you tossed your phone into my bowl. Now his blubbering babble bubbles around me. You know this bowl can act as an echo chamber. I am getting robocalls all the time from Pet Smart and scary harassing calls all the time from Starkist. What is that you pulled out of your purse? A new phone! What? You’re not going to even bother to take the old one out of my bowl?
