It’s #Friday Fictioneers prompt time, as always created and hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields on her blog, Addicted To Purple.
The rules are simple if you’d like to do this:
-
- Use the photo on Addicted to Purple as your prompt (goes up on Wednesday).
- Write a 100 word story, complete with beginning, middle, and end.
- Make every word count.
- It is proper etiquette to give the contributor of the photo credit.
- Add the InLinkz button (below) so your readers can find the dozens of other bloggers who have taken up this challenge.
Great story – great dialogue! Brilliantly done.
