Ooooh I love this one!! You know I do! It’s Flash Fiction Foray time again, and Matt The Book Blogger likes to set a prompt for a short piece of fiction, 100 words max.

This time the prompt song is ”Hot Hot Hot” by The Merrymen… Here goes…

It was another usual day in the kitchen. Mum was busy making the dinner for the evening. She was a great cook, you know. My friends would come round, make their excuses, just so they could sample some of her amazing food! Well that day, I thought I would be extra clever. Off the head cook went, leaving a steaming pan of curry. I tried it… Mmmmmm! But really, I thought it could do with a little more of a ‘kick’ to it… In went a spoonful of chilli powder… I tried it again….Hot! Hot! Hot! Maybe too much…?

Ooh yeah! Love this challenge! Check it out Peeps, Here!

This time write a piece of flash fiction, 100 word limit, using the Boney M song, Daddy Cool, as inspiration! Then link back to The Book Blogger, Matt’s, post, as I did above!

I only asked if I could go out one evening… With a guy… 4 years older than me… It’s not that much of a big deal… Is it? Well, ask my dearest father that… He went absolutely ape shit! Like seriously loco!!! You’d have thought I had said that I was going off to become the lead concubine in a rich Maharajah’s harem, the way he reacted!!! It was like the millennium fireworks display, you know, I could literally see the rockets launching from his ears, and exploding around his head…. Wow! This time Daddy had really lost his cool!

Hope I did it justice, Matt!!!
