Micro Fiction, Colossal Ideas.
“Well, that seems new. Has it always been there?”
“Nope, no shoe can last eternally in one spot. Plus, I’m positive it wasn’t there last week.”
“Hmmm… I guess so.”
“Maybe it was left by the gardeners when they filled in that rosebed.”
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.
Not sure why they had to dig a 6 foot deep hole to root up the old roses… Oh well,it’s filled in now.

fun! (and as Paul Commented) thought-provoking
