FRIDAY FICTIONEERS PHOTO PROMPT
Photo Prompt. Photograph by Liz Young
Word count: 100
“Wham!”, the 17 year-old slammed the door. She was breathing hard, trying to recover from what she just witnessed. Her mother emerged and began, “What you just saw…”. “You were making out”, the girl interjected, quietly walking away.
Later, packing a few things the girl peddled far away from “home”. Lost in thoughts, tears streaming down her eyes, she walked in the wilderness, drinking her beer, holding that thing, parceled under her arm. Suddenly, she let out a scream, threw the mannequin’s head on the ground and stamped on its face. Hurling the bottle, she bellowed, “You’ll NEVER replace Dad!!”

I enjoyed this but has she caught her mum with another man and then takes it out on the mannequin, or was mum up to it with the mannequin itself?

“mum up to it with the mannequin itself”- This was the option in mind. But, yes, the other interpretation makes perfect sense too. The first option seems less creepier!

Ha, funny and creepy at the second time. Nice one 🙂

Perhaps when the girl is out of her teens she’ll forgive Mum for still being a sexual person. Meanwhile, at least she took it out on the mannequin rather than her Mother.

Both mother and daughter seem to have some misplaced emotions. Well done.

Thanks a lot! I’m very thankful for your feedback. People have different kinds of emotions, don’t they? Some of us find that hard to digest.

Dear Yuhu,
Mum can stop being his wife, but the girl can’t stop being his daughter. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Oh dear, our parents have a sex life, how horrible. Old people have sex, what can they possibly think they’re doing? This grabs the teen’s horror perfectly. Poor mum, though.

as i understood it, she caught her mother making out with a man and unleashed her anger on the poor mannequin.

Yes, that’s certainly one way of looking at it. The other view is that the mother was making out with that mannequin. There are people who fall in love with dolls. The girl finds this unacceptable. Thanks for stopping by!!!
