Our Friday Fictioneers Mistress Rochelle has spun up her own spinning version photo for us to spin a yarn that cottons to your imagination. But fair warning, some songs stick like wax in your ear.
Click on Rochelle’s picture to wheel on over to her blog for the finger pricking principles of our weekly 100-word (or fewer) stories.
Genre: Musical Fiction
Title: Why Women Kill
Word Count: 100

Stop talking in circles.
I’m not. I’m making a point. You interrupted me.
If you don’t know, just say so.
If you see something, say something.
What? That has nothing to do with it.
Spinning Wheel got to go ‘round. Ride a painted pony.
If you don’t stop this shit, I want a divorce.
Drop all your troubles by the river side, on the straight and narrow highway.
Okay, what’s your question again?
Where do you want to go for dinner? What movie do you want to see?
Let the spinning wheel spin.
(Frustrated) Fuck you. I’m out of here.
***
Look both ways on traffic circles and two-way roundabouts.
Mind the gaps when you buy mushrooms at the farmers’ market.
***
A little retro music for those who may not know the song.
