50-Word Tales #109

June 17, 2013June 17, 2013 ~ Vincent Mars

On his way home from work he bought his wife thirty-three white roses. Last night they had a bad fight.

He unlocked the door and entered.

‘Honey, I bought you roses!’

He was startled. Half of the furniture was gone.

On a table he found a message: DIVORCE.

He fainted.

Yikes — what a message to come home to! Maybe a neighbor will enjoy the white roses instead?
