Our ‘100 Word Challenge’ here, where you will find links to all the other responses, is simply to write 100 words, plus the seven words in the prompt, as one piece. I have put the ‘prompt’ words at the end.
Come in! Oh, it’s you. No, not OK, really. Oh, all kinds of reasons. Just been having a ‘stop the world – I want to get off’ kind of week. What’s that? Got a lot done? I wish!

Remember the Red Queen? “It takes all the running you can do round here, just to stay in the same place.” She had her head screwed on right I reckon. Problems? Just anything with four wheels and an engine… What? Already? Cup of tea, no? ‘Bye, then… I’m exhausted. Shut the door behind you…
It's kind to share!
I think you’ve either been inside my head, or been spying on my life this week. This is *exactly* how I feel! Great observations!
Credible voice giving a believable piece that will ring true with many. *Life*happens at full pelt !
Love it. Shame they didn’t stop for a cuppa though.

Red queen, touch of class …
