FROZEN

 

FROZEN

‘I don’t pay you to sit around playing computer games!’

‘You haven’t paid me at all this month.’

‘You’ll get your money. It’s just that things have been a bit tight recently.’

‘Let me guess – the Wilsons haven’t paid? They were expecting to inherit grandad’s fortune, but instead he spent it on being frozen.’

‘How many times must I tell you it’s cryogenic preservation, not freezing! But it’s not the Wilsons. Mr Hayward rang to say we can unplug his mother-in-law.’

‘I’ll do it now. My tea’s gone cold and I need to plug in the kettle.’

Yes, I know they're washing machines, but you really don't want to hear about my twin-tub adventures, which was all I could think of otherwise!

    I could see them as cryopods. Great story. Reminds me of the place in Futurama.

    This made me chuckle! Tea would indeed be more important than the Monster-in-law! LOL!

    Unplugging the mother-in-law. Now, there's a thought!

    Dear Liz

    I love the juxtaposition of unplugging the mother in law to plugging in the tea. Nicely done.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    I like how your creativity spun this tale. Of course those are cryo chambers!
