Weaponised Incompetence
For Paul and John's 47-Words Short Story Unofficial Challenge
Tonya's two-week-old daughter was dead. She screamed at her husband.
"WHY DID YOU PUT HER INTO THE WASHING MACHINE AND TURN IT ON?"
"She vomited and I wanted to clean her up. You complain that I don't help but when I do, this is what I get!"

Grim Reaper, Is That You?
“That should teach her a lesson!” Paolo grinned as he admired the threat he had sent. “Teach who a lesson?” Paolo screamed like a little girl as he fell off his chair. He looked up and there It was, looming over him, waiting for an answer.

Well, holy shit. :D Good job.
Loved it Dharr. There is probably some male put there who is reading this and saying, "Seems like a good thing to do to me!"
Very good. Read the rules for the challenge and this certainly should be a top contender for all the things about the situation said that are not written down.
I think you crushed the challenge! How horrible!!! Well done 👏
Dang...the title definitely fits. Unless this was just a straight-up murder disguised as weaponized incompetence. This was a good, dark story. Great job!
Poor baby... Brilliant concept & writing Shee Shee!
Dang, that took a darkly humorous turn in a matter of seconds. Truly captures your title. Twisted, but not unfamiliar (the weaponized incompetence part :P). Nice!
Hahaha damn. Love the combo of horror and dark humor 😂😂🤣 Weaponize incompetence is the perfect title for this :)
🌼Oh my gosh! The queen of horror is back to get us. I don't need to say this was brilliant, but it truly was!
Holy sheesh, Dharr. That man is an idiot. Someone needs to put the likes of him in a blender! lol Great entry, Dharr. I'll be surprised if it doesn't make a TS.
Let’s get it pancakin’ started in heeeereee! 🥞🎉🎉 I didn’t seem to get a notification of this piece.. I only happened to remember just now that you were posting something. That was nasty but quirky delivery. There’s something frightening about machines. I mean, people get caught in things all the time with workplace accidents etc. I’ve also have random daydreams in the past where I’m caught in the washing machine. I wonder what Freud would say about that. 😅🤣
Yikes! Talk about passive-aggressive!
This is such a great micro horror. Loved it!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🙏💜 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜 Thank you 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜
The dark humor 😳 🤣
😂😂😂 Too funny!
🤣🤣🤣
Do I laugh or cry? :/
You mean that's not the most efficient way to get the baby and the clothes clean? Good one, Sparkles!
Well, easy to say he failed parenting 101. Glad to see you join in, Dharr! 🤩
You are truly the queen of horror, Dharrsheena! This is bone-chilling stuff!
Diabolical.
This is so chilling. I used to have nightmares about this kind of thing when I was little. Well done
A remarkably complete, coherent and chilling entry that neatly integrates your trademark, inky black humor!
Omg that's quite frightening. Also, great job on this challenge mate!
