Shortcuts & Signs

โ€œAre you sure that weโ€™re supposed to be headed this way?โ€

โ€œYup, itโ€™s a known shortcut.โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t know the language, but Iโ€™m pretty sure that sign said โ€˜Stopโ€™.โ€

โ€œNaah, there would have been a barricade instead of a road if we had to stop.โ€

โ€œLOOK OUT, POND!โ€

โ€œDo you think, itโ€™ll qualify for an exchange offer.โ€


The photo prompt has been given by Dale Rogerson at the Friday Fictioneers hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. The word prompt (Exchange) has been given for Six Sentence Stories at the Girlie on the Edge.
