for Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers.
.
It’s a long climb, puff , but it’s worth every, huff, step. I mean, just look!
Before us, green fields, trees, hedgerows and cute little lambkins.
To our left, rolling hills crowned with puffy white clouds.
Turn right … whoops, mind the wonky floorboard … and gaze at the sea, an endless pool of blue, well, it’s greyish today but awe-inspiring nonetheless.
Above us, our future. Below, our past.
What lies behind I wonder, and what’s that smell? Poo, it’s the rubbish tip.
However, every empty can and every screwed-up wrapper has a tale to tell … where are you going?

Nice view it seems like, but the smell not so nice. I would hate to climb all that distance and come across a lovely view with a smell.

Dear Keith,
