Sue’s #WritePhoto prompt:
The warning signs had been clear enough, yet still, Randolph plodded on.
It wasn’t fair that his twin Rudolph had been picked from obscurity, just because of that stonking great red conk of his!
Honestly, you’d think he was something special!
Their mother had been quick to save all the Christmas cards that were sent showing that rotund fellow in red, sat on his sleigh, with the group of reindeer pulling him along, and Rudolph leading the way.
She all but forgot about poor Randolph.
He decided to leave home. Not knowing where to go, he just followed his heart.
In the distance, a large, yet sombre castle came into view.
It’s a shame he couldn’t read.
Or that he was too lost in his own sorry thoughts to see the large board displaying three deer skulls, complete with horns.
…
Igor the Targeter surveyed his grounds.
It had been a while since he’d had to train his eye and protect his precious lawns from those pesky animals. They were constantly nibbling at his grass and finely trimmed hedges.
That sign had been a perfect deterrent.
Or so he thought…

Sue’s #Writephoto prompt this week:
Glancing up, all he could see was the fragmented lights and shadow pattern, projected from that chandelier.
She’d fought so hard for that monstrosity.
He was more of a simple man. No need for ostentatious decoration.
But she was adamant.
After buying the big house, she wanted it decorated a certain way too.
Renovations started from top to bottom. The money poured out of his account into the coffers of various designers and furniture specialists.
He’d joked to her that this move, and consequent makeover, would be the death of him.
He never knew it would actually happen.
Balancing that ladder to change a bulb on a chandelier 30-foot above was never going to be an easy task.
She’d been moaning for days that the light just wasn’t right because of that bulb.
Oh well, at least she’d be happy. He’d managed to change it, before feeling the pain in his chest started.
Stumbling down the ladder, he lay on the floor, blinking. The light seemed to dance around him.
His phone was nowhere near.
She’d only popped out for a hair appointment. She’ll be back soon, he consoled himself.
He stared up at the lights, blinking slowly, until the lights went out … forever.
