Gnome Help
I knew I wouldn’t be getting out of bed today since I still had a temperature. The gnome appeared holding onto a tray with a bowl of thick vegetable soup. I sat up.
“I brought you some soup, since you’ve eaten little today.” The gnome put the tray on my lap, and also placed a hot cup of tea by my bed.
“Thanks you’re a great help.” I replied.
“No problem. You need to rest and get that fever down!”
The gnome sat down beside me and began reading aloud. Life was so much better with my gnome helper.

I guess this story was more like wishful thinking since I’ve been bedridden this week. It would be nice to be brought food and drinks…

I suck at super short fiction like this (but you seem like a professional)! 😂 If you’re looking for longer short stories, and you’re interested in South Africa (where the new Miss Universe hails from), then you’ll love my short stories! Please take a read and let me know what you think? 😊🙏

This was brilliant! I’m still waiting for my domovoi (house gnome) to help me clean. Right now, he’s in a corner eating zucchini bread! ❤
