[#273 | Bad Timing] Challenge Post

Challenge 273:
BAD TIMING
There may never be a good time to break that bad news to the rest of the team, or go start that difficult inconvenient project, or get a husky puppy that’s not housetrained yet…

...but for whatever reason, your characters have picked the worst possible time.

Do your characters usually have pretty good timing, or do they have a knack for bringing things up at the worst possible moment? How do they handle a case of bad timing? What does the fallout look like?

Write a story about bad timing.

BONUS GOAL: “You’re asleep at a time like this??”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
