Hundred Word Challenge: 26. Monkey (or Chimpanzee…)
"Flying monkeys," the Wicked Witch of the West fumed to her disfigured tabby cat, Frankenstein. "Who was the idiot who thought of that one? It's a good thing you're dead Frank L. Baum."
She paced back and forth in her apartment. Her fists were clenched and she ground her teeth.
"They can't get a thing right. Not a single thing. They're not even true followers. We plan to go to a New York Jets game, and what do they do?" she muttered bitterly. "They ditch me! And it was my birthday!"
She marches to her small green-walled kitchen and starts banging her pots around. She wasn't in the right state of mind to be cooking, but like heck was that going to stop her.
"And they smell bad," she grumbled and shoved a pot of water onto the stove-top. She turned on the element and whipped around to face Frankenstein.
The cat meowed pathetically.
"I do not!" the witch yelled harshly. Then she raised her arm and inhaled deeply. She cringed. "Okay, maybe I do," she relented.
Frankenstein meowed again.
"But with good reason!" she defended herself.
The gnarled up cat hissed.
"It's not my fault that somebody used up all the hot water, okay?" the with screeched.
Her attention returned to the stove-top. She saw that the element hadn't turned red and let out a frustrated cry. She moved the pot to the counter and, without thinking, put her hand on the element. Oh, it had been hot alright.
She screamed and snatched her hand back.
As she ran cold water over her hand she muttered through gritted teeth, "This is definitely the monkeys' fault."
Frankenstein let out a gurgle that the Wicked Witch of the West thought might be an attempted growl.
The witch gave the sink-eye to the cat before turning her attention to her burn.
Always the monkeys' fault.

Old Question: Considering there are only a few chapters that have left to be written, I would like to have a few ideas for who you would like to be in them. Any really odd characters that you think we might not have- or something you'd like to be in the chapter. Each time we use one of your ideas, there will be a shout-out to you in that chapter, so you have to make sure you keep reading :)
Winner: All of you! I'm going to try and incorporate ever single one of your ideas. Thank you guys :)
New Question: What's your favorite food, and why?
My answer: I love food. That's a tough one, but probably sushi...or Feqatcha (?) bread.
Have an awesome week, guys!
