A while back, the Trifecta Writing Challenge was to write the beginning sentence to an imaginary novel:
So here’s the beginning sentence to my imaginary novel:
The Life and Times of Spinkz Mccoy
- Spinkz Mccoy
Used car salesman Spinkz Mccoy figured the key to his success was due to the fact that he was as honest as the day is long on the shortest day of the year.
And here’s this weekend’s challenge — writing the closing line:
“You could even change the name from Brooklyn to Betty Ann,” Spinkz Maccoy suggested as he pocketed $27,000 of Betty Ann Spindlemyer’s money while she gazed out the window at her new purchase.

Until next time . . . I love you

I must say, I was puzzled until I scrolled down and saw the picture! Well, Spinkz was, indeed, a very good salesman. And this is a very good ending. Well done!
Thanks lumdog. I just hope Betty Ann doesn’t get buyer’s remorse! 😀
Only the very best of salesmen/women can persuade you to buy one of those and, at one time or another, we have all tried. The renaming was a clever ploy by Spinky!
LOL! Gina you are so right. I once bought the Brooklyn Bridge in the form of some very expensive pots and pans! Sigh . . .
Betty Ann is one lucky woman. 🙂 I missed out, it was almost called the Marie Nicole Bridge, but I backed away when legal docs to change the name weren’t included in the deal.
Hahaha Marie!! You are a sharp cookie. Spinkz Mccoy’s got nothin’ on you. 😀
I liked this. I too had to scroll down to the pic to realize he had sold her the Brooklyn Bridge. Great job!
Oh good, I wanted it to be a surprise! 😀
How can he sell a bridge I already own?
LOL! Spinkz Mccoy strikes again! 😀
Better Betty Ann than me, I’m more into burning bridges than buying them.
Haha Lisa! And Betty Ann Bridge is easier to say than A Gripping (on for dear) Life Bridge! 😀
lol!!!! Awesome good ol Spinkz Mccoy. Why, I remember once in PS92 how he sold me hiz shares to the school cafeteria. Sigh! Those were da dayz – wondered what happened to him.
Haha! Well I hope you at least got seconds out of the deal! And
I wouldn’t be surprised if Spinkz ended up in politics! 😀
It either says something about your writing skills or my lack of morality, but I was grinning about him getting away with it. I’m going with your writing skills. Obviously. Thanks for sharing this. Be sure to come on back tomorrow for the new challenge.
I see a novel here. All ya gotta do is fill in the middle. Go!
Ha ha! Now all that’s left to do is decide whether it’s going to be cream or jelly! 😀
Wow – not only did Spinkz sell her the Brooklyn bridge, he even did a bait and switch!
(the pic is the Manhattan bridge. the Brooklyn Bridge has brick towers, and really is a beautiful (and reliable) structure.
(Sorry to be pedantic – couldn’t help it on this one)
Hahahahaha! Grrrr . . . I’ll get that Spinkz Mccoy and throw him off the Manhattan and/or Brooklyn Bridge! Thank you El Guapo. I shant. . . I mean Spinkz shant make that mistake again!
Haw! I’ve purchased a few bridges myself. My Pottery Barn Bridge is especially impressive… : P
Plus, it’s good to have a bridge you can jump off of, after you realize you’ve been swindled. Say, there goes Betty Ann now–
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh… SPLAT! : (
LOL!!!!! Mark! Your comment has gotten my weekend off to a more than just a splattering of fun! There goes Betty Ann now! hahahahaha!!
