100WCGU: The Flip Side

100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups - Week 31 - The Flip Side



The Flip Side

by

Robert Steadman


James liked things organised.

He'd organised his collection of vinyl singles alphabetically by artist. Then, when he fancied a change, he'd reorganised them alphabetically by song.

But James got bored.

He tried chronologically by date recorded, and then by date purchased.

Next he reorganised them by duration, shortest songs first.

He had even tried organising them by label colour - in rainbow order, but that made finding a specific song almost impossible.

He wondered about organising them by the song on the flip side, but he'd hardly listened to any of them.

Maybe organising them alphabetically wasn't such a bad idea.

  2. Oh dear. An advance case of OCD. Well done on thinking of so many ways to organise the records. No mean feat!

  3. This is fun. Poor James, I feel for him, because I get like that sometimes. Creative use of the prompt.
