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?

Sounds like he reached the pinnacle of TMI.
Too much TMI! Cheers, Christine
Eek!
That’s what she thought!
Leave it all long enough and it will become a future archaeologist’s treasure trove
Very true, Neil!
Yes indeed every wrapper tells a story. Great take on the prompt Keith.
It certainly does! Thanks, Suzette.
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.
Me too, Tessa!
Hha..made me giggle. 🙂
I hoped it might! Thanks, Dawn.
Made me smile, yes, litter and poo, are the problems of humanity
Thanks, Michael. We are a messy lot!
You never fail to surprise in a clever new way.
I try! Thanks, Mimi!
Quite the tour guide- not 😂😂😂
I’ve met better! Cheers, Sadje.
😃
I wasn’t expecting the mundane after all that sublime beauty 🙂
Nor were they!
And here I was worrying about the wonky floorboard!
I could have spoiled their trip!
Right!
Delightful tale! Really enjoyed reading it!
Thanks so much!
Dear Keith,
I like how you end with a chuckle. The rubbish pile’s a bit of a downer, isn’t it?
Shalom,
Rochelle
Indeed it is! Thanks Rochelle.
be careful out there. it goes down with the territory. 🙂
Sadly so! Cheers plaridel.
Where was his audience going? To escape the philosophical lecture, I should imagine!
Spot on Liz, it’s what I would have done!
Keep on the sunny side — until the sunny side burns you to a crisp! You read your story perfectly, Keith.
I quite agree! Thanks for your kind words, Lisa.
You’re most welcome.
People really are terrible trashy. Good take one the prompt.
Hilarious! I’m guessing the other person is going to find a better vierw 🙂
As William Bendix as Chester A. Riley in “The Life of Riley” would always say …. “what a revolting development this is!”
Oops, my age is showing!
Fun story, Keith.
He sounds like a rivetting companion to accompany you on life’s journey.
That stinks, after all the huff and puff. Not your story, though, that shines and made me laugh.
Ah, there are heaps and then there are … well … heaps … 😉
