Another Drabble

Here is another drabble from my latest book, ‘100-Word Stories’.

Loo Roll

She’d done it again! Turned the loo roll round the wrong way. Bloody woman’s always doing it. 

“For goodness sake Donald,” she whined, “It’s a toilet roll. Get a grip of yourself.”

I lost it. Grabbed the nearest thing to me, the loo brush, and swung it at her head. I missed – my hand-eye coordination’s never been good – but it made her stumble and she fell, hitting her head on the corner of the bath. 

I bent down but couldn’t feel a pulse. Nevertheless I gave it half an hour before I phoned the ambulance – just to make sure.
