RED SILK DRESS
Living on a sheep ranch, internet
shopping was the best way to get groceries. Unfortunately, Dave’s new bride
Stella didn’t stop at food. First his old furniture needed replacing, and
admittedly his bed-linen was past its best, but when the red silk dress arrived
he’d had enough. “A spell up-country will teach you to appreciate nature
instead of shop goods,” he said, and drove them deep into the bush.
After setting up camp Dave went hunting,
but when he returned he found Stella unpacking a box. “I ordered two comfy
chairs,” she said happily, “They were a Black Friday bargain.”

Thanks to Rochelle for hosting Friday Fictioneers - an online group of people who write a 100 word story each week prompted by a photograph. This week's photo was taken by Jan Wayne Fields. To read how other wirters interpreted it, go to https://rochellewisofffields.wordpress.com/ , after commenting on my story first, please!
ps. for those who don't live in England, this is the week we have been 'enjoying' that American import - Black Friday sales.
