For a Moments Peace – Friday Fiction

What does it take to get a bit of peace and quiet around here? The little ones are always running around screaming. Every time I sit down they come and pester me and sometimes I feel as though I’m being pulled in all directions, literally. I try to complain, but it seems as though no one ever listens to me, I might as well be talking to myself.

All I want to do is curl up and go to sleep. I was out late last night and I can hardly keep my eyes open, but all this noise is making me a nervous wreck. This house is always a mess too. I’m forever stepping on things that squeak or buzz; sometimes I even find things in my bed that belong to ‘them’.

Of course it wasn’t always like this. Before the little ones came along my life was bliss. I could come and go as I pleased, eat whenever I liked and sleep as often as I wanted. But my wild days are long gone and I’ve settled down now. It just hasn’t been as I expected it to be. I know it won’t always be like this. When the children are bigger they’ll quieten down a bit. In fact I did enjoy a cuddle with one of them the other day and that was lovely. But until then I suppose I’ll just have to put up with the chaos that is everyday life.

Sometimes I’ve thought about walking out of the door and never coming back, but I love my family and I could never leave them. And I know they love me too, so that’s why I put up with all this. I’m a very loyal creature really, but I guess that’s just the way we cats are.

Now it’s over to you. Got a story of your own to share? Link up here, or for more information check out this previous post.

  1. […] Every Friday I will be publishing a Friday Fiction post and I would like to invite you to join me by linking up your own work. It can be a stand alone piece, or an extract from a longer story, but no more than 1000 words, if you can help it. The idea is to produce a short piece of fiction to be enjoyed with a cuppa on a Friday afternoon when winding down for the weekend ahead (or trying to anyway). You can read my previous posts here here and here. […]
