ARTWORK - 100 word story

This week's Friday Fictioneer's photo prompt didn't give me any immediate inspiration. I left it to my subconscious to get to work and here's the result.

ARTWORK

She needed to move her latest body. But she was too busy. Who knew running a B&B to supplement her income would take up so much of her precious time?

These current guests were driving her barmy. So bloody demanding. We don't eat gluten. We don't eat dairy. We don't eat fruit.

She laid the breakfast table, muttering curses. Just one more, 'we don't eat...' and they'd end up wrapped in clay.

They ate. They left. Peace at last.

She returned to her latest body of work. Caressed the clay. It was probably her best sculpture yet.

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

THE GIFT - 100 word story

 A story for this week's Friday Fictioneers photo leapt out at me. I only hope it's not too predictable! I could have done with a longer word count on this one; you'll have to write the ending yourself.

THE GIFT

They met online.

He said he was 'very solvent with a wicked sense of humour'. She said she was 'adventurous with a sense of the ridiculous'.

Admittedly she was slightly disappointed when they met, but suitably impressed when he wined and dined her in expensive restaurants. She rewarded him by demonstrating her adventurous spirit in the bedroom.

He took her to Cannes. 'I have a gift for you.'

They stood on the jetty. The little yacht was exquisite.

'You shouldn't have,' she purred.

'Like it?'

'Love it.'

'And the basket on the back will come in handy, don't you think?'

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

JUST A STORM - 100 word story

This week's Friday Fictioneers photo prompt gives us the result of storm damage on what looks like an English pier. This story wrote itself.

JUST A STORM

They returned in ones and twos.

Angelika turned on them. 'There, now do you get it? Climate change does affect us.'

'It was just a storm, Geli,' said Noddy.

'Not just a storm. Our homes are destroyed. I told you we were too close to the shore.'

The others burbled:

she's right,

not just a storm,

we're doomed...

'We can make repairs,' said Noddy.

Angelika parodied him, 'we can make repairs.' She flicked her tail in disgust.

Noddy looked at her helplessly before rallying. He pointed at the underwater pier structure with his trident. 'Come on, folks. Rebuild time.'

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