Seven Deadly Sins: Sloth

The mental to-do list was as long as her arm, but the sunshine was warm on her body. A clean rag hung over her face, deflecting the strongest of the rays. The hammock supporting her slim frame swayed in the wind.

The dwarves had heigh-hoe’d off to work earlier this morning, and left the house in a right state. The dishes were stacked a foot high, last night’s dinner cold on the stove. The washing was in a messy pile, the broom collecting dust in the corner.

Her eyes slowly drooped closed.

“Not today,” Snow White muttered. “Can’t be arsed.”

  1. Oh I love this so much, this is my kind of Snow White – much more sympathetic from where I’m standing. Great twist – laughed out loud and I only guessed where it was going right at the end.

  2. Hehe. Cute. And a HAMMOCK? I’m in! Lovely piece on sloth. It was a real pleasure following your work this week and meeting you through the challenge.

    Best-
