(100-word flash fiction)
Mr.Krauss is bewildered. He had woken up in the morning sitting on the staircase handrail.
A gigantic version of his wife appears in the doorway.
The look and scream of horror is understandable. After all he had perfected the art of ‘keeping his woman in place’.
His son appears next, uncharacteristically bold, with a raised cricket bat.
Mr.Krauss roars his usual disapproval. Soft chirps issue forth.
Amazingly, he discovers his eyes can swivel independently as his daughter comes up from behind, whispering softly while trapping him in a shoebox.
“Don’t worry Daddy, the spell will last only a hundred years.”
