My favorite challenge is Friday Fictioneers by Rochelle Wisoff Fields where we are challenged to write a 100 word story with a beginning, middle and end. Here’s my entry.
I told him we could find an easier and softer way of ending our relationship before he smashed me against this wall. I told him when he bought me I was built to serve the likes of Jimmy H., not someone who could not play “May had a little lamb”.
We had a great band: Peter T on synthesizer, Roger D on guitar, and Keith M on Drums.
He realized his life was becoming unmanageable. He was sick and tired of being sick and tired. He had tried one day at a time but it didn’t work. Insanity! Peace!
Oh Danny Boy! 
“He had tried one day at a time but it didn’t work”. Great line!

Thanks! Actually, “One Day at a Time” is a slogan of A.A. There are other references to his problem. “An easier and softer way” for example. No one has caught it yet.

I know the motto of AA (and NA) and probably GA. It’s what makes it a great line.

Haha, loved it. I wonder if he has any regrets now, looking at the broken pieces.

Dear Danny,
RIP John Entwistle, although it could hardly be said that he couldn’t play. You made me Google for details. Nice one.
shalom,

He was one of the best. His synthesizer was tormenting him.

Dear Danny,
Your story had me off on a wild goose chase learning about John Entwhistle. He could play, so I guess that wasn’t him. Good story, nevertheless.
Aloha,
Doug

It was John E. He was one of the best guitarist ever. See my reply to Rochelle. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Like Janet, I switched gears at the second sentence, and read on with a fresh understanding. Perhaps *Doctor* Who could have fixed it with his sonic screwdriver?! 😉

Your opening line had me thinking of abuse (of a woman),then you switched gears. Hopefully he’ll have peace now.
