Finish the story begins with: “I see absolutely everything.”
It was hard to imagine the impact those words had on the gathering. As they boomed out on what had been an orderly afternoon with everyone mingling comfortably, it turned suddenly in a scene of utter chaos.
The crowd’s nakedness was suddenly apparent. Where before every jiggle, wobble, dangle, sag and pointy bit had been as part of the landscape it was as if we were back in the garden of Eden and God was pronouncing original sin to everyone within earshot.
People scrambled to find clothing, arms suddenly stopped gesticulating as in conversation and sought to cover precious bodily bits should the person beside them notice that their breasts no longer pointed to the horizon but rather had succumbed to the sad desires of gravity.
In the mayhem that ensued little notice was taken of the host’s children who sat atop the stairs and playing havoc with their fathers megaphone.

Can’t stop laughing. What a nightmare! 😀
Makes you wonder which way you’d go doesn’t it, only two arms and all those precious bits…
Stop! 😀
Lol
What a freaky nightmare!!!! well done, Michael!!
A nightmare? Cheryl-Lynn it was true life…..then again maybe it was…..
Was this a dream you had by any chance?
No mine are never that good.
Just where mind went when I read the opening line.
Ah, I must have a go at that before my eyes close:) pulled an all nighter last night since I had slept all day the day before…the heat is not easy to tolerate…so hot at work…the AC does not work so well…I have to keep a fan on me and got home and it was 30 C in the apartment…another scorcher tomorrow 35 and up:( what a crazy world we live in…it was cool and raining for the past two weeks.
Yes be careful a friend on the west coast says they have very hot weather the next few days. Hot days and especially nights can be very wearing on you….
It is July weather for sure but in a month we will be whining about the cold
Aw, the joys of nudist sunbathing for the post 50 crowd. Very well put.
Well it was a lot of fun until the announcement shattered our sobriety. Thanks for stopping by, I’ll invite you to the next one….without children…
I look forward to the invitation, I think.
Hahaha! The image that is in my mind is hilarious! And, the children being the reason for it. LOL!
Thanks Joy for stopping by…..hope you are doing well today…
Thank you Michael! I am doing well. I’m glad you are doing well. I will be sending out the FFfAW challenge in 1 hour.
Looking forward to it Joy…
Happy to hear that Michael!
Ha, ha, the humor is wonderful, but if the children were responsible for the words, where did the clothes go? Love this: “every jiggle, wobble, dangle, sag and pointy bit… “
Well that is a good question. And I don’t know the answer. Perhaps you have a thought on the matter? Thanks for stopping by with that excellent question.
Is there a word missing in the first line, or am I just late-night dense? You must be less than thrilled that I’m such a careful reader!
Thank you dear editor person, I have been through and performed a small edit….no longer am I hoping any bits are out of place…
🙂
Ah yes, I was guessing “impact” was what should be there–but I don’t like to guess. And re-reading it now, I had a better appreciation of the story–well done, Michael.
Thank you Val, an edit is often so very cathartic.
For which party? lol
Oh for me of course, my piece is now a tad stronger…
Hilarious and so well written and creative! Love the freshness you brought to the idea of “original sin” and sudden embarrassment and awakening!
Very funny Michael! Loved the last bit. Thank you for again writing for the Mondays Finish the Story challenge and be well my friend… ^..^
A very amusing take on the prompt, Michael! I think in future the host ought to make sure his children are kept a long way away from such a gathering. 🙂
Wonderful!!! Out of the mouths of babes!!! Great story!!!
Thank you so much glad you enjoyed it.
