‘Tis Wednesday and, she who loves all things purple, and keeps all us all afloat, has chosen a picture from Jennifer Pendergast for this week’s Friday Fictioneers. Once I saw it, I could not help but want to close up my date trilogy started last year. Should you desire a refresher, just click on the links in that follow, to see why I went here after going there and there. No need, of course, but do click on my fancy-dining frogs below to be brought to the linky-thingy to add your very own 100-word story inspired by this lovely image. Now sure how? Rochelle’s post will do the ‘splaining of the hows and whys of playing along.
Wow, this is pretty snazzy!
Anything is better than the last two joints we went to.
You’ve got that right. Though, I thought my choice was funky. And now I can see why you said to kick my duds up a notch. Like my suit?
It wasn’t funky it was filthy. And you look very handsome. I should request it more often!
Thanks, and don’t push it. Your choice was the shits.
Can’t argue that one. Once you see it you can’t unsee it. Like my dress?
Let’s forget the past. You look very sexy.
Shall we go in?
Absofuckinglutely!

What in the blessed hell IS that thing? And they got dressed up for it? As for as sculptures go, I will give it a 9.5 for originality but I ain’t crazy about the idea of hanging lights from it, much less candles!
How you got from Point “What’s that?!” to Bahahaha! definitely rates a 10 though.

I’ve been reading the comments about the photo prompt I sent in…just to clarify…it was a ‘Well’….and an underground vessel to carry water…..not a toilet… I’d never seen anything like it and it had a short story written all over it…so it had to be shared. So funny that it looked like a loo to everyone, though.
