Aaaaand it’s fake Friday again! One tiny problem I have with the calendar is that it’s so repetitive and predictable. That’s why I like Friday Fictioneers — a 100-word, picture-prompt writing challenge over at Rochelle Wisoff-Fields, Addicted to Purple — because it starts on Wednesdays. And I think you’d agree that nothing spices up the week like having Friday on Wednesday! Anyway, here’s this week’s picture prompt by way of Scott Vanatter: (copyright – Indira)
Mr. Sims and the Maple Bar of Death
“No, Mr. Sims, you misunderstood my instructions.”
“But you asked me if I wanted to do a donut, so I spun out.”
“No, I asked if you wanted the rest of my donut.”
“So I flunked my driver’s test?”
“That will depend on your three-point turn.”
“I can do that with my eyes closed!”
“Careful Mr. Sims! That’s a sheer drop off . . . LOOK OUT!”
“What happened?”
“You’ve plunged us off the cliff, Mr. Sims.”
“So I flunked my driver’s test?”
“Yes.”
“Okay . . . but one last question.”
“Yes?”
“You gonna eat the rest of that maple bar?”

Until next time . . . I love you
