The Insult
"For Paul and John's 47-Words Short Story Unofficial Challenge."
I thought I'd give it a go, it sounded like fun and some people who have entered have some really great writing skills. I don't think I'll win but this was a good time writing!
Here's a link to the challenge if you want to give it a go too:
The Insult
It was a comment that made me writhe in my clothes.
A step too far. A wrong name - or something along those lines - I don’t remember now.

I Am Emmanuel Goldstein
The packing floor was drenched with rain through a hole in the roof that nobody had bothered to fix, she stared into it as the bell rang signalling her lunch break. Her book open, she opened up a chicken salad and ate with one hand, reading with the other. Julia chewed silently at the back of the room and read Anna Karenina, struggling to keep the book in one hand since it was so big. She was roughly halfway through and was beginning to think about how rich, decadent and parasitic this society had to be for their biggest problem to be whether a woman was cheating on her husband or not. She was taken out of the story by another woman who turned on the television with a broom, poking it until she found the 'on' button. The static fuzzed about and then that weird show began to play.
