The Break-in

“It’s gone! All my precious hard work in one night – gone.”

“But how did they get access, there’s state-of-the-art security. It must be a very clever burglar or one working with a top-notch hacker or even someone who’s been spying on this place for months!”

“Uhhh, did anyone bother to fix the broken fence by the wildflowers? The next-door dog loves oranges too.”


The photo prompt has been given by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields at the Friday Fictioneers and the word prompt (Access) has been given for the Six Sentence Stories hosted by Denise Farley.
