A weekend writing prompt to get your creative juices going.

At the end of each week I will be posting a picture prompt and inviting you to write a 100-word story. Here is today’s picture:

Can you write a short story using this picture as your inspiration? Remember it needs to be exactly 100-words long (not including any title you might want to use).

Either post your finished stories in the comments or post a link to your story on your blog.

Fave fun!

The Internet Thingy

We sat at Great Grandma’s feet as she told us again about when she was a little girl and all the houses had something called electricity. 

“It was wonderful,” she said, “At a flick of a switch we could light all our rooms and heat them. We’d watch TV and cook meals in our microwaves. Such happy times.”

I  tried not to yawn but I knew what was coming next, it was always the same. She’d go on for ages about strange machines called computers and some Internet thingy. 

I often wonder where Great Grandma gets these weird stories from.

He’s Late

He’s late. So unlike him. I check the text – ‘Usual place. Noon. Love you.’

Here I am. Our ‘usual place’. Franco’s coffee shop. Smiling, I remember our first meeting. Me bumping in to him, spilling coffee everywhere. Him laughing, telling me not to worry, agreeing to me buying him another latte. The start of the happiest time of my life.

“He’s not coming Maureen.” Says a quiet voice behind me. I freeze. “Thought you could leave me, sweetheart. Silly girl. Not to worry. Lover boy won’t be bothering you again. Just the two of us now love. You and me.”
