Unkind Cut

Sweet-scent wobbly squashed its ample floral upholstery on Woody, admired its precious Crystal, tapped the metal oblong:
Seeking Partner
A big spice-scent wobbly arrived. Somewhat unvarnished. By nightfall, not even a fitted cover. Timber was left loose and dangling.
In the morning spice-scent wobbly parked its stripped base on Woody, tapped the metal oblong.
“Great new chair ordered. On its way!” it shouted. It unstuck itself from Woody, making a rude noise.
The next day, long after Woody was taken away, sweet-scent wobbly stared at Crystal.
A tear-shaped flaw had appeared, just below a diamond peak at the bowl’s sparkling edge.

Love the wobblies. I see a kids’ cartoon in the making. And merchandising

Definitely. He might be an old chair but he has feelings! So your empathy is excellent and on behalf of Woody here’s a big thank you from me 🙂

Dear Jilly,
What a delightful little story. The teardrop etched into the crystal is touching.

Jilly, I have to admit that I didn’t understand at first. I read it again, then looked at the comments, and things came together. I always appreciate your novel and creative takes on these prompts. Sometimes it just takes me a bit of study to “get” it 🙂

I admit it is one of my more obscure takes! Thank you very much for your comments on my takes, I really enjoy the whole process very much-and sometimes I need to read comments too, it’s kind of part of the fun isn’t it.

Poor, poor Crystal! Left alone and parted from her Woody. Sweet and sad – a tragic love story Jilly

How careless the wobblies are, though I think the sweet-scented one might dump Old Spicey! Thank you so much for your lovely comments, Lynn.

You have to take it easy if you have a crush on Crystal… she might break

Ha ha, that’s clever and funny, Bjorn. She isn’t broken but she’s damaged, poor gal. I wanted to call them Woody Harrelson and Crystal Gale but I decided that would be going a bit too far. Best wishes, Jilly

I cannot lie… I was totally lost. Then it became somewhat clearer through the comments. Then I re-read slowly (I was damned well gonna understand…) 😀
You made my brain hurt this week but when all was said in done… I ended up enjoying!

I enjoyed the way bowl were turned into feeling objects. My college English teacher gave us a writing exercise which involved creating a story from an inanimate object.
Lovely take on the prompt.

Thank you so much, Vanya, I know it was a bit obscure but it was fun to swap the emotions into the inanimate objects for once.
