The Dinner Party - Day 151:5 Minute Freewrite
The Dinner Pary
The dinner party consisted of six couples, all dressed in casual clothing. Marie called them to the table with a giggle.
"For tonight's entertainment I hired Aggie, a medium!"
Ellen looked at Carlo with a startled expression and mouthed to him a medium? He tilted his head and shrugged as the other couples headed to the living room.
The lights were out but for some large candles flickering in the edges of the curtained room.
"Yes! It will be fun," declared their plump hostess. "I've heard so much about her!"
Aggie sat at the head of the table. Her hooded eyes assessing the guests.
"Sit!" Aggie commanded. Ellen bristled. Carlo looked at Aggie with a lazy smile.
A chair squeeked as Marie pulled close.
"Join hands," Aggie ordered.
The couples reached awkwardly toward the person next to them.
In the quiet, the wax popped in a candle, startling Marie, who had grown quiet.
"Someone's sister wants to join us."
Ellen turned to Marie in surprise, and quickly back to Carlo, whose jaw visibly tightened.
"She has a message for the room."
Ellen closed her eyes and willed this charade to end.
"You think I've forgotten, don't you?"
Carlo moved as though to get up from the table.
"I will never forget, and neither will you, big brother."
"Let's go, Ellen!" said Carlo.
I've had enough of this freak show!"

And I thought I left cliff hangers. You left me waiting for a return. My my my, what shall happen next? :-)
My head keeps coming back here. I see the expression on Carlos face as he's hot-footing to the door...but..
Yep :-)
Nice cliffhanger! I need to read the next part.
That was really good, I spotted your post for part 2, so came back to read this, now onto the next chapter.. What have you done Carlo!!
Ha! I love it. I originally thought along the same line with 'medium' but yours is very different lol. He sounds like he got the shock of his life! Good one!
Thanks so much! Yes, he was not expecting to hear from her again!
More!! This is so good! Great job friend! This kept me wanting more! :)
Thank you! I wish I was at home and not at work so I could write lol! <3
Hahaha I hear that!!
nooooooooo, don;t end it there. I need to know what happened next jhsdafhjds . ok but really, this made me very curious.

Thank you for reading and I am so glad you like it. I would love to focus more time on continuation, time and health permitting! These continue in my head long after the timer ends! Thanks for the delivery, too!
Well, write them down if they're still going on in your head. This happens to me, too. And I try to get it all down 'cause it's going really good in my head and it'd be a pity to just forget it in a year.
You are so right! I know I need to. It is a huge crime to let muse flit off in space. Thank you for the gentle nudge! <3
Your post is always helpful @wandrnrose7 (>‿♥)
I concur dear, with all my hear, soul, might and the little things I know about literature. I won't be surprised if @wandrnrose7 releases an anthology of short stories, and it wins an award.
Hugs! I hope one day! You are so sweet. <3
