Guest 100 words – Barky McBarkface

January 22, 2023 By Ellen

Number Three son has written 100 words today.

Barky McBarkface

A synthetic bark… a real one.

Up and out with excited lustre they go.

All bark, anticipated bite.

The usual prowl of the garden

‘What are they doing?’

‘Hoping for the worst.’

What worst?

A frightening burglar to scare,

or maybe the lawnmower is back to hum and splutter in its ever-so-horrifying way,

or what if next-door’s cat is plotting a malicious plan on the patio with devious Mr Fieldmouse and the Delinquent Pigeon Gang.

Disappointed with the continuously evil-free garden, they slink to their respective sofa and rug,

always keeping an ear open for something exciting to finally happen.
