I finally got a chance to get back into the game this week and join the fun. Friday Fictioneers 100-word story challenge. Check out the playing rules and join us. My story’s below Sean Fallon’s photo. (Well — maybe that isn’t really Sean — just an acquaintance perhaps.)

A DUMMY’S A DUMMY

“Hey, wasn’t that hunk who just left your office Warren Flannigan, the actor?”

“Uh … yeah. There are no more mannequins available for the store’s holiday window on Main Street, so I’m signing live actors.”

“But the guy dumped you last month for that anorexic, bleached blond who can’t spell his name!”

“Yeah, I know.”

“So why give him a whole month’s free publicity in your window?”

“I knew he’d sign the contract without reading the fine print that said he’d be wearing green tights, pointed rubber ears, a light-up nose, and a jingle-bell cap.”

“Wow … way to go, girl!   And, after all, a dummy’s a dummy, right?”
