She sat on the kitchen floor with her back to the counter, panting.

The flour was dancing around her like snowflakes. Her blood and cake batter was staining the cold tiles but she had no energy to get up.

The business end of her wooden spoon was stuck in her husband’s right ear, and she knew when she pulled it out the mess would only grow.

But she needed to finish her cake before the police came to take her away.

Then again, she thought, once they tasted some of her cake, they may just have a slice and leave.

If you’ve enjoyed any of my work, please consider having a coffee with me.

I’m on a mission to post 1,000 100 word stories!
