Here we are once again to show our creativity by writing original stories for the Friday Fictioneers’ weekly challenge. This challenge is to write a story with no more than 100 words. It’s supposed to include a beginning, middle, end, and follow the picture prompt supplied for the week. The gracious and talented author and artist, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields, is the hostess for the challenge. The prompt this week was supplied by Roger Bultot. Thanks Roger.
