Theme #44: Dirty Nails
Wrote another one. Enjoy!
Words: 148
Neo-Queen Serenity waddled as gracefully as her swollen belly allowed; passing the chefs whom bowed quickly with fond smiles before continuing on with their important tasks. Upon reaching her objective, Serenity rubbed her hands in anticipation, then, throwing open the fridge door in a practiced fashion, she scanned the shelves once, twice and finally a third time unable to believe her eyes.
She gave a fierce shriek, slamming the door closed while instantaneously snatching up a chef who was not fast enough to escape. The poor man trembled under the Queen’s hardened gaze.
“Who,” she demanded in a dangerously low voice, “ate the last piece of chocolate cake?”
Seven floors above, in the eastern wing, Neo-King Endymion winced as his wife’s shriek reached his ears and continued to scrub fiercely at his hands in a desperate attempt to remove the tell-tale chocolate from beneath his neatly trimmed nails.
