WonHundred Word Wednesday
came and went this week and I didn’t get my flash fiction posted. Better late
than never!
Prompt: Why shouldn’t they
help themselves after the way they’d been treated?
The queen frowned. “Close
the window, Cozette. I don’t want to hear that awful racket.”
“Yes, M’Lady.” Cozette
obeyed, gazing at the scene below. People ran about with baskets of stolen
food.
“What’s happening out
there?” the queen asked.
“The people are rioting.
They’re hungry.”
Her Highness took a frosted
delicacy from the tray. “Let them eat cake.”
The ladies-in-waiting
giggled. “You’re a wit, M’Lady.”
“Bring more tea, Cozette.”
Cozette hurried to the
kitchen where all the women were abuzz about the riots. A plump cook said, “Mon
Dieu! Why shouldn’t they help themselves after the way they’d been treated?”
Now I hope you’ll stop by
the other blogs and read what they wrote with the prompt.
