101 words (tut-tut!)

Seeing the picture reminded me of a story I wrote about my friend Rosey back in 2015. Here’s a shortened version

.

.

My friend Rosey had never used the public pool, only her parents’ private one.

When we suggested visiting it, she was horrified. She said people peed in it. I said that was only allowed in the corners. If she swam in the centre, she’d be alright! Eventually, she agreed to come.

As she ventured in and edged forward, a siren screeched. We’d not warned her about the Mega-Wave feature! She screamed as if she was witnessing a tsunami!  We scrambled to her rescue and hauled her out.

Then she said we’d spoiled her fun and leapt back in! 

You can’t win with Rosey!

Poke a Froggie to visit the squares!

.

The original story is HERE should you wish to read it!.

    Nice to see a story with Rosey as the lead character, Keith. Rosey sounds like she was enjoying the thrill. Great take on the prompt image. As always, your graphics are superb. Well done.
