Stag Don’t!
Aw man my head! What was in that stuff we drank last night?
All I remember is a huge glass, well, more like a fishbowl actually, full of this sickly sweet liquid. A purple drink, a totally girly drink, and all the lads chanting “Drink it! Drink it!”
What could I do? I had to finish it, it was a matter of pride.
I gingerly opened an eye and saw the toy dog in the corner of the room…What on earth was that there for? Wrapped around my neck was pink fluffy feather boa, and in my hand was a large plastic machete…
Then I groaned…
Memories slowly cleared from the hangover haze, as I recalled the dare…
Oh God!!!!!
I knew I should never have agreed to allow Dean to get involved in the organisation of my Stag do!

Tuesday, and another prompt song from Matt the Book Blogger!
Check his flash fiction prompt out here.
The song this week, is one I hadn’t heard before – ‘One Day Like This’ by Elbow.
The sun shone brilliantly.
I looked out across at the view that greeted me… crystal blue waters that seemed to stretch for miles, golden sand, soft as anything I’d ever felt under my feet.
And just there, stood by the floral arch, looking gorgeous in his white linen suit, was my soon-to-be husband.
Family and a few friends, just those that mattered, sat, waiting patiently for me.
It was time to take those steps… to finally say “I do” in the most idyllic setting I could have ever imagined…
Just one day like this in a lifetime… enough for anyone.
I hope you enjoyed it!
