Contrary to the familiar Thoreau quote, this week it’s what I’m looking at that matters in my story.
Genre: Hysterical Fiction
World Count: 100
ETHEL AND CHERYL AND TED AND ALICE
Ethel, Cheryl and Ted strolled along the banks of Egg Lake singing “Alice’s Restaurant” in three-part harmony.
“Walk right in, it’s around the back…,” sang Ethel.
Cheryl chimed in with, “…just a half a mile from the railroad track.”
Ted stopped at the lake’s edge and raised his trusty Canon. “Whoa, what a great shot!”
Ethel frowned. “With all this beautiful scenery why would you take a picture of an old chair in the water?”
“To post on my blog.” Ted snapped another angle. “I never know when that purple-obsessed midget might snag one of my photos for Friday Fictioneers.”
