I Write Short Stories
A man and a woman are sitting drinking tea in a well furnished room. The woman has a perplexed look on her face.
“I’m sorry run that past me again! You want to be treated like a floor?” she says.
“Yes that’s right” says the man.
“That doesn’t make any sense. You want me to walk over you? Is that what you’re saying?”
“Well you do walk over floors, but you can do lots of other things to them too” the man says.
“You’re still not making much sense. Are you talking about a carpet or rug or just a plain floor? “
“That of course will be up to you” says the man.
“OK. Let’s assume you’re a floor!” she shakes her head. “What do I do with you? How do I interact with a floor, apart from walking on it?” she says.
“Use your imagination” says the man.
The woman thinks for a while and then her eyes light up, quickly followed by a wide wicked grin.
“OK. You want to be a floor! You promise me that you will let me do anything to you?” the woman says.
“Of course, I’m your floor” says the man.
“In that case you can be part of my bathroom floor. ***** and go and lie down face up and spread your arms and legs wide. I will be there in a few minutes”
The man takes off his clothes and folds them into a neat pile before leaving the room and he lies down on the floor face up and spreads out his arms and legs as ordered.
“OK. I’m on my way back” the man hears the woman shout in the distance.
The woman enters the room prepared for a busy afternoon of work.
“OK. This floor looks like it could do with a good clean!”
Over the afternoon the woman makes sure her bathroom floor is sparkling. After a good going over with a soapy mop and a good hard scrubbing she thought she’d try out her new steam mop. That really got the dirt off her floor. Then she gave her floor a good polish. Now she has her feet up watching the television.
“Maybe I’ll clean the floor again tomorrow?” she thinks to herself.
