Condiments by Rochelle
They call that a still life.
I believe so.
It’s condiments. Hardly life.
It’s about being part of life, but still. Inanimate.
Oh. Still, it’s not really life, is it? It don’t breathe, or swim in honey. It don’t move around.
No, but still part of life, ain’t it. In life, you need condiments.
Mate, condiments lead to death. For us and them lot. Heart disease and diabetes for them. Honeytrap for us.
Yeah, but they’re still life. Can’t eat a bowl of chips without them.
SWAT!
Bluey, mate. Oh no, Bluey. [92 words]

I never expected the voices to be flies. I think they were too distracted for their own good. Very entertaining! 🙂

Bluey’s gone and Housey’s all alone. I never thought I’d shed a tear over a fly. Nice one though!

I got a sense of the twist at “swim in honey” but wasn’t sure if they were flies, wasps etc. Poor Bluey, and all for a painting too. 😉
