Being somewhat new to the blogging my fiction game, I’ve been dipping in and out to find other bloggers entering into the same exciting world. I found Rochelle Wisoff-Fields a few days ago and loved her Friday Fictioneers challenge. Use the photo as inspiration, write a hundred(ish) words – and share! Here goes – and I welcome your comments!

Something Decent
“No, no, NO!”
I surveyed the incandescent woman before me, replacing her carefully coiffed hair and perfect make up with my small niece’s tousled mop and shiny red face. It saved me from retaliating. I would never smack Annabelle, even at her most tantrum-like. This woman, well…
“I. Asked. You. To. Show. Me. Something. Decent!”
She punctuated each word with a sharp jab of her index finger into my chest.
I sighed.
“This is my house, my front garden. I’m just collecting the paperwork for the next property. I’m sure you will fall in love with it.”
That shut her up.

Freya Writes... 
Nice one!
I love the idea behind this meme. How long in advance is the photo posted?
Thank you!
Yes, the idea is a good one, isn’t it? I had a look on her blog – 2 days prior. Just enough time, I think!
The picture’s posted early Wednesday morning and then you can post your story as soon after that as you get it done. People post from Wednesday until the page closes, the following Tuesday, I think. Join in. It’s fun.

Nice idea! I may have to participate. Nice story!
I thought it might tempt you, Lorri! I’m glad you enjoyed the story too 🙂
Great story! Very patient (if somewhat messy) real estate agent. Love her method for keeping her cool…that might work for me, too 🙂
Thank you, Jan! Yes, I might have to try the method too!
I like the way she dealt with that irritating woman! 🙂
Welcome,
janet
Thank you! And thank you for the welcome too!
Ah.. that was one way to deal with a potential client… 🙂 Never hit a client is probably a good rule in the real-estate business anyway.
Thank you for the comment, Bjorn! I expect that there are very few industries where hitting your client is acceptable… 🙂
Dear Freya,
First, welcome to Friday Fictioneers. Warning! It’s an addiction for many of us, myself included.
Loved the way your real estate agent imagined someone else in the client’s place to be able to deal with her. Inventive lady.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you for the welcome and for the lovely comment on my piece! Shavua Tov (belatedly!).
Ugh. Customer from Hell. Great job. 🙂
Thank you, David!
Love this. Very clever.
Thank you, Sarah Ann!
