My entry for this week’s 10o Word Challenge for Grown Ups (100WCGU). The prompt is in bold, in the story below. This was a tough one, but I came up with something in the end! Honest feedback welcome.

Seven
Rose studied her sister carefully. She had just asked ‘…would Seven prove to be too much?’ She knew the answer but was hoping Poppy would lie.
Poppy was looking forward to having the kids for the weekend. Fleur’s girls were lovely. Bright and affectionate, they were a dream to babysit. Rose’s eldest, Five was ok too, and he would be a big help with the girls. Even Six wasn’t so bad, really. But Seven… ‘Honestly Rose? Yes, he will. But it’s ok. It’s only one day. You two go and enjoy your birthday.’
From behind her twin sister, Fleur signed ‘It’s going to be a looooong day.’

…I can imagine just what sort of looooooong day Seven might create! I like how you depicted so much of each character in so few words. 🙂
Thank you! It’s hard to paint characters with so few words but I do try so really appreciate your comment!
Ingenious!
Thank you!
Clever to make Seven a name!
Thanks!
