“Loan approved!”
Finally, I’d raised the funds to finance our family vacation.
Every morning was mimosas and toast, every sunset a new shade of orange. The kids snorkeled with sharks! VR recordings to relive at home. But then I missed a payment. Interest piled up. Phone calls every hour.
The loan terms were clear. I led my family, droopy-eyed, back to the bank.

“Please, take your seats in the repossession modules.” The loan officer beckoned to a row of chairs bolted with straps, metal skullcaps dangling from above.
They’d take the car later. First, they’d have to repossess our memories.
Great story, so few words, so much imagery !
I like it. Clever ending. And clever way to transport readers.
Good job. Great ending.
Thanks for all the kind words, everyone!
Great plot. I like it a lot. 🙂
Wow!
Aha. Kids snorkeling with loan sharks, great foreshadowing! Jerry
Love this story. So clever.
Creepy and sad idea. Very well-executed! Nice job!
