“I can’t help it!” Rowena shrieked desperately. She was eating a sausage; in fact one sausage after another. It wasn’t a competition or anything; it was simply that she had purchased a container of pre-cooked sausages – twenty-four to a packet – and she had got hooked. A short nuke in the microwave warmed the pre-cooked up in a jiff.
Not that she wasn’t addicted to sausages in the first place. She had always been partial. That’s why she bought them. And they were on sale. So far she had eaten six. There were still eighteen to go.
Common sense prevailed. She quickly opened the freezer lid and threw them in. She would space them out. So as not to be tempted she donned her raincoat, took the umbrella, and went for a walk.
When she got home her son’s football team were there and they had eaten all the sausages. It was a post-match “where did we go wrong?” review.
Rowena didn’t say a word but she was glad they had lost. “Some people are born to be selfish,” she said.
Selfish sausage son?

“I should have trusted my first instinct and finished them off when I had the chance,” she concluded in her post-walk “where did I go wrong” review.

Don’t you just hate when you come back from a walk and all the sausages are gone? There were only 18 left. They could have been more thoughtful.

If this was a Rorschach test I fail. Everything in this story reads like innuendo to me.

When I was 14 I recall my Mum asking everyone if they knew where the dish of cat food in the fridge was! (Ahem).

I thought the cat food was great – I fried it up. It was slivers of off cuts from the butcher – so real meat!
