I Almost Got Away With It!


I was hoping to get away with things a lot longer than this, but, alas no. I thought I was doing so well, pulling the wool over people’s eyes, but one day later all of my plans have been shattered.

All it took was one person to come along and foil my plan. One comment thwarted the whole thing.

But I’ll be back.

With an even bigger and better plan… you mark my words; just wait and see – I’ll be back, I tell you… I’ll be back.

Posted for Six Sentence Stories. This week Foil is Denise’s chosen word.

    The plans get bigger at least in one’s imagination, but for the sake of the story may there be more.

    Plans sometimes become better-laid when the design is elegantly simple. Better luck next time, eh?
