Microfiction Day 67 – “The List”

She looked at what she had written down eleven months earlier.

Lose weight
New job
Save money
Less alcohol
Get a dog

She looked at the single tick and chewed on her pencil. Flipping the page over, she started a new list.

Adam. Told me not to gain weight.
Mike. Told me my job was a waste of time.
Nick. Told me that my flat was pathetic.
Lisa. Told me I was a sloppy drunk.

She looked down at Scout who cocked her head in return.

“We’ve got some work to do sweet girl.”

She scratched out Adam’s name first.
