This is a story for Friday Fictioneers, which is hosted by Rochelle. Every week you are challenged to write a 100 word story based on a photo.
Thanks to J Hardy Carroll for this week’s photo and also to Rochelle for hosting the challenge.
A special thanks to all the readers for their time, too.
“Honey, I’m so excited. Thanks!”
“Sure, no problem honey.”
We stop in front of a building. The gates are locked.
“Are you sure… this, is the place, honey.”
“Yah! It says, ‘you’ve reached your destination.’ Jump out! Let’s just check.”
“Are you sure — this is — the transport museum?”
“It’s ok, maybe we are earrl….”
“Oh My God Honey! Just check this out. It says: Trespassers Will Be Shot Without Notice. LET’S GO!”
“But…”
“LEAVE! your stupid… transport.”
The car is in motion. Silence is now seated with us.
“Anyways… thanks! for spoiling my Sunday.”
Stupid sat nav. Still, a bit of Sunday excitement for them 🙂

Yes they should definitely not stick around. 😘
I think you’ve used “Honey” too much in this tale.

Ooops! Some people are all honeys and sweet until things go a little wrong, and then the story goes another way.

I agree. The trouble is, when you’re allowed only 100 words, you have to choose each word as you’d pick the prettiest flower in the garden. 😉

Hahahaha….have faced issues sat nav myself. But thankfully never this dangerous.
Liked your light-hearted take on the prompt. (Clearly not that sweet for the ‘honeys’) 😀

I came up with the other one first but wanted a some-what light read and so came up with this one.
No, by the tone of her voice, I’m guessing they’ll have a tensed environment in the house for some days. I’m glad you liked it, Ritika.
Thanks for reading and commenting. 🙂

I guess, he’ll be better off taking a map rather than using a GPS the next time.
