“What you got there, missus?”
The woman had bits and bobs spilled in the middle of Temple Bar.
“I’m a thought buyer,” she replied.
“A thought wha’?”
“I give you something for a thought.”
“My fiancee, Claire, likes this sorta shite. What will you do with my thoughts?”
“I crush them.”
I wrote her a thought, grinning smugly. Her voice was a weighted blanket wrapping me while she read it out.
Next thing, a beautiful scarf was in my hands.
“That for me, Aido?” a bird asked, smiling.
“I’m not sure. Do I know you?”
She said her name was Claire.
Great 101 words. Very clever! Well done!
Thank you, Stella! 🙂
I was a bit confused but that’s not unusual 😀
This has been the feedback so far… I don’t mean to confuse. I’ll take this onboard for my next 101. 😉
I think I get it… he thought he was being smart and asked to forget his fiancee, or gave her name… whatever was required – thinking to uncover a fraud – surprise!
I love the intrigue of whether Claire was real or not.
Nicely done! This would be an interesting longer work.
Poor Claire. She fell for a doubting Tom. Who will take her home?
