PAY YOUR DEBTS by Granny Annie
The loan shark approached the grocer like a wood-mad bear. The debt needed to be collected and that was all there was to it. The reaction of the shop owner was difficult to describe. Anon he managed to hide in a gap by the canned good aisle. Forsooth it failed to provide the needed cover. The store owner was found covered in green-bean cans and no witness ever came forward.
Glad you gave us meanings to the last three. Great job with some interesting words.
ReplyDeleteMimi had some good prompts and I would never had thought of using those last three words. It was fun.
DeleteOuch. Short, but very far from sweet. Great use of the prompts.
ReplyDeleteSo many participants write wonderful, long stories. I want to do that but time does not allow it nor does my mind. Thanks:-)
DeleteBeware the wood-mad bear. And never hide by cans of anything. good short story.
ReplyDeleteThanks River. I must go find your story. You always use the prompts in a great way.
