Sunday Spanklet - Problem Solving

Spanklet  (n.) - definition - a very short story where an individual is spanked or caned.

Charlotte sat on the bed looking up forlornly at Jack and then back down at the cane which rested on the pillow beside her.

“Do we have to do this?” she asked in a plaintive voice.

“We agreed,” Jack replied, “A traditional punishment is the best way to deal with transgressions and clear the air.”

“But it will hurt a lot. Can’t it just be a spanking?  Maybe with a hairbrush or something ?”

“No, if it is to resolve anything it has to be with the cane.”

Charlotte stood up reluctantly and in  a deft, practised, movement she tied up her hair in a ponytail, using an elastic scrunchy which she took from the top of the dresser. 

She turned back to face her new husband.

“Well don’t just stand there,” she commanded in a stern voice. “Bend over and touch your toes!”
