“This ought to go to that garage sale. That should be thrown out…”
“But why? That bicycle might still be of use. And, we can store so many things in this box. That knotted rope will come in handy… sometime.”
The photo prompt has been given by Roger Bultot at the Friday Fictioneers hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields and the word prompt (Visa) has been given for the Six Sentence Stories hosted by Denise Farley.
There’s always a chance anything could come in handy again!

But within a few weeks of getting rid of it, its absence will spark frustration; so many alternate uses!
Fun, succinct Six!
