The Sacrificial Lettuce... 5 Minute Freewrite Daily Prompt

Howdy Freewriters🤗. Happy Weekend to all. Welcome to my 5 Minute Freewrite blog😊.

There was an impromptu meeting in the fridge.
Things were not going well. No, the temperature was fine; the problem was congestion. Too many leftovers, not enough shelf space.

“We must make room,” Cabbage said sternly.

All heads turned to Lettuce, who was now browning at the edges.

He straightened his wilted leaves. It was as if he’d anticipated this day.
“I know, I know... and I won’t resist any longer,” he said, his voice heavy with emotion. “I agree with Cabbage. We must make room. And I know what it takes — sacrifice the Lettuce.”

He looked around for the last time. He sure was going to miss this cool place. But his time was up. His calling as the sacrificial lamb was here.

Before the Master Chef took him, Lettuce said his goodbyes to them all — especially to Mushroom, who knew deep down... he was next.

Thank you for reading ❤️.
