Sam slapped blindly at the annoying sound, silencing it. Just a few more minutes, please. The sun fell across his face and he jolted upright. The clock flashed 8:00 am. “Shit, shit, shit.”

Two little faces stood at the foot of his bed. “You’re not supposed to say shif,” his youngest said.

He rubbed his eyes, “Daddy didn’t mean to say it.”

“You said it fwee times.”

Why didn’t he get up when the alarm went off at 6 am?

“Did we mth school?” his daughter asked.

“No,” he said, ruffling their hair,  “just making a grand entrance.”

100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups – Week #159    …but you need cash…  

“Jesus Becca, you gonna stare at that or drink it? You’re making me dizzy drawing circles. You think a genie is gonna pop out and grant you three wishes?”

Becca cast a sideways glance at her friend, Sam. “I’m thinking.”

“Thinking my ass, you’re sulking.”

Becca shrugged, “I don’t need them or the job.”

“But, you need cash to pay rent and put food on the table; you know, minor inconveniences.”

Becca slid three hundred dollars and a card across the table. New Age Escorts.

“The genie likes the way I draw circles,” she said, smiling.
