You know sometimes I think that I can’t get any dafter and then I surpass myself! Julia’s prompt this week is …it can’t be that time…. and as usual we can add another 100 words , making 105 this week.
Out of the dark
I feel squashed. I’ve tried pushing those hard bits, but they don’t seem to move now. It’s even difficult to stretch my legs and kick properly. We’ve both got hiccups, and I’ve been upside down for ages with my head in a vice, perhaps she’s been drinking?
Wait a minute.
Oy, I do the shoving, stop pushing on my behind! Agh, I don’t bend that way, let me just . . . put . . . my . . . arm . . . down.
That’s better.
What’s that now? Surely it can’t be that time already. It’s bright out there. I’ll need some sunglasses.

The thoughts of a baby during childbirth? Cute if he/she came out wearing shades!
Very very clever description, Gilly! Or is it just an outstandingly good memory?
Very clever, Gilly. Loved it.
I LOVE the first sentence and then, the ‘head in a vice’ got me. Wonderful description and idea. Fabulous scene.
Great work — as usual!
So creative! I loved the last bit about the sunglasses.
Clever twist on the prompt.
I was thinking of an egg, untll “she’s been drinking” clued me up.
A cool baby indeed.
Great job my friend. You had me glued. Love the story!
Very clever and great take on the prompt!
Well done, very clever xx
You had me riveted with your words. I was in the moment from the beginning.
Very well done, Gilly, very well done.
Clever twist
Very creatively done!
Must be comforting to share the trauma with a twin
This was engaging… I love your contributions.
