Bleeps on Toast - very short, naughty words

This spilled out while I was freewriting a different idea this evening. Silly enough to share, I reckon...



Bleeps on Toast

After three years of silent servility, Frank's toaster had finally snapped. On his toast this morning in crisp, non seriphed black lettering, the bitter appliance had seared the word 'Wanker'. Frank took a bite from his obscene breakfast - it tasted good. He dropped another slice into the toaster, pondering this miracle of cheap electronic expression over his tea. Perhaps the expensive brands were more polite, he thought. Then, a beep and the release of a spring as the second slice popped out.

'I Called You A Wanker, Moron.' Frank turned the slice over. 'Are You Deaf?'

Ahahaha. This was fun to read. Short, sweet, and ridiculous. Thanks for the share.

Hahaha that was good for a quick laugh. Sometimes you only need a paragraph to get the point across. Beautiful mate!

Haha made me chuckle, very good.

Excellent writing in such a small amount of words.
