It’s time again, for Kat Myrman’s wonderful challenge, to write a story, inspired by her picture prompt, in 280 characters or fewer.
Here is this week’s prompt and my contribution, which, this week, differs from my normal, but I like it. I hope you do!
Check out all the fabulously creative entries here and, if you’ve never had a go, why not try a story of your own? You may surprise yourself!

Party in perpetuity
Same house,
same party,
same day,
same time.
Every year!
Same laughs,
same jokes,
same lives,
same folks.
Very queer!
Same food,
same plates,
same drinks,
same mates.
Full of cheer!
Not the same,
we died that day,
we come forlorn,
and not to play,
but
shed a tear!
(247 characters)
Very nice, Peter!

In my family, we only got together for weddings and funerals and after people got plastered it was hard to tell the difference between them.

All good things must come to an end I suppose. There is comfort in routine. Nice take Peter! 😊

Fun poem, even though there’s a bit of death at the end 🙂

I obviously failed – the death was at the beginning!

Ah yes, I’ve reread it and see it now. I thought maybe they died at the end but continued the annual get-together.

I love get togethers good food, lots of laughter and plenty of wine, fortunately we don’t wait for weddings and funerals. Ever noticed how expensive both of those events are?
