Half a dozen …

for Six Sentence Stories where the given word is Seal.

Broken down again, Celia sat on the grass bank, her journey brought to a sudden halt, “it’s time I got myself a new one,” she said to herself.

“How about this?” asked the slick salesman, “or that one, just look at it”, but Celia wasn’t taken by either of them.

“This might suit you”, he enthused, “it’s a little more expensive but well worth it”. 

Celia liked the look of it, “how much?” she asked.

“‘Eleven,” he said, “nine,” she replied, “ten,” said he, thrusting out his hand, “let’s seal the deal, Celia!” 

With carbon fibre bristles, an ebony handle, vertical takeoff, and zero to a hundred in seconds, Celia is the envy of all her fellow witches.

    Pardon the sweeping generalization, Keith; but I did not see that ending coming!

      I was hoping nobody would ask that because I don’t have a clue! At first, I thought 10 wishes but I don’t think witches grant wishes so I’ll go with Maria’a suggestion – gold coins it is! Unfortunately, ladies, that’s cleared me out!

        Looks like Sadje and I are out of luck. 😁
        It be a bit different for a witch to grant wishes, let alone 10. But maybe she’s a different kind of witch 😉

        Aww, if we could borrow some gold coins we would have saved so much time and hassle zipping here and there on our brooms 🧹

    Oh wow! I’d like to get one so I can avoid the traffic 😁

      There would be quite a market for them if they existed!

    This is kickass. Just loved it. I read it over and over a few times. That’s just how great it is.

    Despite being on the lookout for a twist, your Six still brought a smile.

    Fun Six

    Sounds like a good deal…not that I know anything about witch’s transportation.

    I need one too! Do they have any budget options in-store? 🙃 (and an easy-to-reach location)

    “vertical takeoff, and zero to a hundred in seconds” – I could have made good use of those 2 things this morning, lol
    Entertaining as ever, Keith!

    Slick salesmen and witches with broken brooms go together. Nice tale!
