WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a short story about someone being late for work, but from the perspective of their pet.

Changing the perspective of a story often brings surprising new elements to it – or can add amusing qualities to an otherwise mundane setting.

Stupid Bald Monkey. Gone off without leaving me my food. I’ve teased more intelligent dogs.

Most days Bald Monkey is ok. It feeds me, it keeps the den warm. It leaves the flappy-clatter thing open so I can get in and out. Except sometimes when it has stayed out later than me and come back all wobble-shouty. Then it can’t wake up. Very smelly, farty monkey.

Now I’ll have to go and rub myself over female monkey in that other den. She’ll give me fish, which are better than rattle-box food anyway. Maybe live with female monkey?

I am an ardent fan of my favourite pastime, which is shouting at the wireless. I have mostly my own teeth and can still get myself to the bathroom without too many accidents. I prefer my wine both copious and red.
