Rochelle’s challenge this week is to craft a story of 100 words, prompted by Dale’s Rogerson’s photo. Those clusters of people, what are saying, where have they come from ? Here’s what I imagined.

Brief Encounter
‘Hi Aimee’
‘Hi Ali, quick mooch ? Sorry about your break up. Shopping will help.’
‘Aimee, there’s a man following us..’
‘Nah, keep walking’.
‘Quick, move Ali, sharp left into ToyzRUs, hide in the teddy bear section’.
‘Oh God, he’s walking towards us !’
‘You’re ex ? Was he angry with you ?’
‘Or that on-line bloke, he looked dodgy ?’
‘Maybe that weird Spanish teacher ?’
‘Let’s hide in the toilet, lock the door. Must’ve gone by now.’
‘Oh no, here he is ! What do want Mister ?’
‘You dropped your wallet back there. I want to return it.’
