What the Hay – Friday Fictioneers – 28 February

We come to another Wednesday which to 100 or so hardy souls means it is time to fib. Okay, maybe tell a fantastical tale sounds more respectful, but either way we are spinning a yarn about something our minds concoct based on a photograph chosen specifically by our gracious hostess with the mostess, Rochelle. This week Sandra Crook is the photo supply culprit. 

(Genre:Fiction) (100 words)

****************************

Ben rumbled up the steps toward the ever increasing wail of his bride of thirty two years. She had been over the edge for eight days and now it seemed she was even more out of sorts.

“Honey, what’s wrong now?” Ben asked.

“That, that thing. It’s going to ruin everything!”

Ben looked from their top floor balcony in the direction she pointed. A tractor and hay wagon sat broken down between two houses across from their home.

“What will they think? This is my big break.”

“I am sure the reporter from Cosmo won’t care.”

“I want it gone!”
