Shortcuts & Signs

β€œAre you sure that we’re supposed to be headed this way?”

β€œYup, it’s a known shortcut.”

β€œI don’t know the language, but I’m pretty sure that sign said β€˜Stop’.”

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

β€œLOOK OUT, POND!”

β€œDo you think, it’ll qualify for an exchange offer.”


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.
