THE CHALLENGE

Write a one hundred word story that has a beginning, middle and end.
(No one will be ostracized for going over or under the word count.)

THE KEY:

Make every word count.

Once you’ve completed your story then go over to Rochelle Wisoff-Fields’ blog by
clicking right HERE and enter the link to your blog into the little linky thing she
has so other Friday Fictioneers can find you and read your story.

It’s fun, really, so don’t think about it too much, just do it!

For Sale By Owner

Jan’s an artist and when I questioned her piece parked in my garage I knew the end was here.

“Thanks, Tom,” she said. Arms folded tight.

“I… Listen… I just don’t get it.”

“Like always, right?”

“C’mon, Jan. Visually it’s potent but that cardboard sign- it struck me as incongruous. Are you making fun of the blind or of yourself?”

She slammed the service door behind her.

I slept in the basement that night and the next day Jan was gone. I waited, and eventually moved the car outside. I turned the sign over and wrote: For Sale. Best Offer.
