Rochelle’s challenge for this week is prompted by a photo of a grand art gallery. 100 words to tell the story connected with this picture.
Visitors
‘OK team, Zak here, walkies-talkies on –doors opening to the public now…’
‘Zak, it’s Mina, upstairs, reporting a strange group of people. What shall I do ? ‘
‘Archie here, atrium, a man in a pink pantomime outfit and platform shoes has just passed me, with followers…’
‘Causing nuisance ?’
‘No, they’re smiling.’
‘Fatima here, seen a group of bohemian people tap dancing. Terrorists ?’
‘Ed speaking by front doors. Spotted some flamboyant people exiting the building. They’re singing..’
‘Team, we have experienced a visitation from a zany group. Seems they want to run amok with what art stands for. What next ?’

Thanks Granonine. I wanted the visiting troupe to be a little bit mysterious, open to speculation.

Dear Francine,
Sounds like the beginnings of a wonderfully diverse flash mob. I enjoyed the visuals. Pink pantomime suit? Love it.
Shalom,
Rochelle

When I hear or see the word Amok I always think of the movie “Hocus Pocus” with Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler when they were witches. “Amok! Amok! Amok!” he he… silly artistic Bohemians! Cute story!

Thanks Courtney. Amok isn’t a word used all that much is it ? Haven’t seen that film – sounds very entertaining !

It’s an old movie…but really cute. A good one to watch around Halloween.

Better than the expressionless folk you normally see wandering around galleries. Nice one!

Thank you Keith. Agree with you, a bit a zany to offset the solemn people.

Yes, you’re right. Let’s hope the visitation gave the team something to talk about in their tea break.

Probably best to let them have their fun rather than try to stop them, so long as they don’t damage anything!

Maybe the zany are performance art. People watching is an art form.
