One pizza won’t hurt, thought Agnes as she crept down the stairs.

She was still waiting to see any results after joining the slimming club. She was racked with guilt when the pizza arrived. The weigh-in was on Friday, she still had time to lose a couple of pounds.

A couple of pieces won’t hurt.

Archie woke the next morning.

He found Agnes on the sofa. The pizza box lay open, half of it was left.

Archie helped himself to a piece of pizza. Since Agnes had started slimming club he had put on a stone. He didn’t like to see food go to waste.

Written as part of the Friday Fictioneers challenge hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields (more details HERE). The idea is to write a short story of 100 words based on the photo prompt (above).

To read stories of 100 words based on this week’s prompt, visit HERE.

This month I am taking part in the A to Z Challenge 2017 – a post each day based on the letters of the alphabet and a theme. You can visit my A TO Z CHALLENGE 2017 page here to read the story.

As this challenge will take up a lot of my blogging time I may not get round to commenting on everyone’s posts, but I hope to find time to read all your stories as usual, and still be able to participate in Friday Fictioneers each week.
