Good Wednesday, my peeps! It’s been a while since I played Friday Fictioneer. I was inspired by the book I am reading. A special thank you to Penny Gadd for the use of her photo and to our hostess with the mostest, Rochelle for being there through thick and thin. Should you wish to play, just click on the frogs below and add the link to your own one-hundred-word story! G’head! It’s fun!
Our Special Place
From the first weekend after school ended until the weekend it started up again, we lived at great-grandpa’s cottage. Though he was long gone, we refused to call it anything else. It felt disrespectful to rename it since he is the one who built it.
I remember the summer Bill arrived. We were ten and twelve. Though he was younger than I, we hit it off from the get. Our days were spent lazing in “my” hidden pool, away from all the other cottages.
Summer after summer, our friendship grew. Who knew I would end up marrying my best friend?
A tender story Dale. full of optimism.

(Laughing) I love when peeps ask me, “is that true?” I smile, raise my eyebrows, grin, shrug my shoulders, and say, “maybe.”

Fiction can add interest to truth. And vice-versa. 🙂

Agree! My non-fiction is often embellished 😉

I often find myself backing off because so many people think everything I write it true. However, I usually just let it go. Especially with a poem. I can deny everything later. 🙂
