Yes, I know it’s only Wednesday, but it’s time for Friday Fictioneers once again, meaning those of you who follow my blog will get two posts today and probably none tomorrow (but you never know). This week’s picture prompt is quite unique and thanks to Lura for it. Thanks to Madison for the whole shebang and to all of you for reading, writing and commenting.
Speaking of comments, I love to hear from any and all of you, so comment away as long as the comments aren’t mean and nasty. Constructive is great; even better are things such as “Wonderful!”, “Best thing I’ve ever read,” etc. LOL. Click on the little frog link after the story to read as many of the stories as you have time to read. I work my way through all of them each week and it’s worth it.
