Mike shifted in his seat.

"Sorry, I don't mean to be rude," - he did, he wanted very much to be rude - "but there is no way I am letting you give me a massage." He stood up. "I want to leave," he started towards the door he had come through, the door that led back to the church.

Mrs Jelly moved to stand in front of him.

"You can't go back that way," she said, hands on hips. "You have to go through the other door."

Mike felt his hands form into fists. He was losing patients.

"Just move out of the way please," he said, his voice shaking.

"No," Mrs Jelly said.

Mr Jelly moved next to her, blocking his path with his girth.

"Sorry, sport," he said. "There is no way you can go through that door."

"Why the fuck not?" Mike shouted.

"Because we have just had it fumigated," Jelly said. "Terrible termite problem. You probably noticed when we came through."

Mike looked from one Jelly to another.

"I don't know what the fuck you two are playing at," he said. "But if you don't let me through that door, I am going to have to use physical force."

"No need for that kind of language, sport," Mr Jelly said...

...
Oh no! Not more Jelly?!!

Some HUGE news for me!

Another one of my steemit stories has been selected to appear in the Isle of Write Anthology!

“Haunted” is a ghost story (not that the title gave that away or anything) and it currently has 7 parts to it. But it isn’t finished yet. So I had better get on with it, hadn’t I…

It joins my 8 part story “Reunion” that was selected a few weeks ago.

Please support @isleofwrite by visiting their page and checking out their post, they are doing a great job of highlighting good writing, so if you like reading you should really check them out.

You too can be curated and find your story in an @isleofwrite anthology : read the post and find out how!
