MLMM Saturday Mix

Welcome to the Saturday Mix – Story Starter, 20 April 2024!
You will be given a sentence to start off your response. It is your choice whether you write using poetry or prose.

Your story starter for this week is:

There was no way he was doing it. And that was that…and he put his foot down, hard! That was before he looked where he was putting his foot, but soon realized, as the odiferous dog leavings made their presence known. It was typical Tom behavior, and no one seemed surprised. Their friends started leaving quickly and when they were all gone, his wife said, “well that’s another fine mess you’ve gotten me into”, quoting Hardy of the Laurel and Hardy comedy team. Tom sidled off to the grassy lawn and tried to clean his shoe. All the while his wife was smiling triumphantly.
