I crafted the previous two "Empty Chair" freewrites to evoke the emotion of loss.
- The Empty Chair - 5 minute freewrite challenge [Prompt: hardboiled minds]
- The Empty Chair #2 - (5 minute freewrite challenge) [prompt: Paint]
But for my third freewrite entry into today's prompt, i have decided to experiment with a different emotion. I hope you enjoy reading it. Thanks again to @mariannewest and ya'll freewriters who keep upvoting and encouraging me.
Prompt - Cracker
Jack swaggered towards the far corner to join his bunddies. But his corner eye caught ther group of ladies on the nearby table. Beautiful1 He thought.
What was better than a meal in such company? His mind stalled, but his feet didn"t. They redirected him round to the only empty chair.
“Someones’ there!” the pulpy face said, pointing at the food plate before the chair. But with all eyes on him, Jack the celebrity had to have his way.
He ignored her, beckoned the waiter to serve him. Quickly his order arrived. Now he started to pull the behind the chair so he could slot in.
A voice came from behind him, “It’s my seat Jack!” “Find another!” He answered, without looking. He took the food plate from the waiter, ready to sit down.
But this time a hand tapped him on the shoulder from behind. he turned around.
And Oh my! Oh my! He froze. Hypnotized as a rabbit: What a cracker! If it wasn’t for the quangnck-klengklen clatter of the glass plate as it crash-landed on the tiles, spilling soup on his trousers, jack might have never resuscitated.

Good luck!
Thanks a lot. Let me just look up this latest prompt, and get to some freewriting. My bandwidth has been problematic since yesterday, but it should be fine now. Thanks again.
That was interesting and really showed how full of themselves some people are. Almost perfect to get a spam comment from a person who must be a lot like Jack ...
Hahah...True. That is a Jack there spamming, too full of himself, he is more interested in luring me to his blog, and thus meeting his own goal without caring to read my freewrite.
Cheers @mariannewest
