Friday Fictioneers this week offers a unique photo (from Sandra Crook) as the prompt for our 100-word story. It could take you into many different worlds. My imagination took me to long, long ago . . . .

GRANDPA’S INVENTION

“Gramps, what ya buildin’?”

“Well, son, I calls is a tri-cycle.”

“What’s that mean?”

“Means it has three wheels. See here?”

“What’s it fer?”

“To get me places that’s too fer to walk.”

“What makes it roll?”

“I pushes these two little pads down here with my feet, and the wheels’ll roll.”

“But … will it go where you tell it?”

“These here curly-lookin’ handles’ll let me turn left and right.”

“Where’d you git all them parts?”

“Took apart the old tractor and your gram’s still.”

“Oh-oh … Uh … Gramps … I think you better get on and start pushin’ them pads now.”

“What’s the hurry?”

“Gramma’s comin’ down the hill … with her shotgun.”
