KEEPING IT CLEAN - 100 word story

It's Friday Fictioneers time again. I love the window boxes in the photo prompt, but how to weave a story around them was quite a challenge.

KEEPING IT CLEAN


Sheila tapped the soap three times and washed her hands. Tapped twice, washed her hands. Tapped once more and washed her hands.
She contemplated her new, empty window boxes. So sleek. So pristine. So beautiful. But what could she plant?
Flowers were a definite no. Too much mess.
Something green? Something simple? Something clean? Oh, yes.
She had an idea.
An hour later the boxes were filled.
With a tentative finger, Sheila stroked a blade of grass.
Damn!
Sheila tapped the soap three times and washed her hands. Tapped twice, washed her hands. Tapped once more and washed her hands.





I hope you enjoyed this story and I look forward to your comments.
