Hello all! Hope you’re well.
So, this week’s prompt from Julia’s Place is.. “….I’m exhausted. Shut the door behind you….”
So, this week we have Limebird Beth, LimebirdKate and LimebirdLaura taking on the challenge. If you would like to have a go, then click the link to Julia’s place above and add your link! It’s great fun. 🙂

Rachel sat still, nervously glancing up at the clock every few seconds. He was due home two hours ago and every minute that passed made her certain she was making the right decision.
Suddenly the front door slammed open and she caught some slurred words. Walking towards him, she took a deep breath.
“This is it James. I can’t do this anymore, you have to go. I’m exhausted. Shut the door behind you when you leave.” She reeled out her practised words, trying not to stumble.
He stood silent for a few seconds, staring blankly. Then he calmly walked towards the front door and locked it shut.
LimebirdKate
It’s late and I’m not through.
I’m exhausted. Shut the door behind you.
Tonight I’m writing now.
Tomorrow I’ll come out, don’t have a cow.
If you keep talking, I can’t work.
No, you can’t sit here and lurk.
You have to go, leave me be.
Tomorrow I’ll be free
to do the tasks that you can’t handle.
Honestly, you’d think that writing’s a scandal
because you won’t let me write my book.
Now I’ve lost track of my hook.
Damn you! I’m gonna get you back, cur!
Ha! I’ll make you a character!
You wouldn’t leave my study?
Now you’re the murder victim, dead and bloody.

I stood up to stretch, and as I yawned I smacked my face to try to wake myself up.
From the radio by my bed, the announcer said, “Tonight on UFO Watch – 5 signs you are under an alien attack.”
I checked my windows for the 874th time to make sure they were locked. Drinking my coffee, I flopped back onto my bed content with my safety.
“Number Five: Unexplainable bright lights.”
I laid my head back, unable to stay awake.
In a daze I woke up to see an alien at the foot of my bed.
“I’m exhausted.” I sighed, “Shut the door behind you.”
