Time again for Friday Fictioneers. A 100 word story for a weekly changing photo prompt provided by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. I can’t recommend it enough, give it ago or just read the many other, far more talented efforts.
Leggy tapped his foot against the stone, as a disgruntled Hedley sucked in a breath, swallowed and looked up,
“Will you stop that ruddy tapping, you’re killing me”
The tapping increased. Hedley growled.
“Thanks for the support guys” he mumbled. Not really caring which one of them heard.
The wall of muscle on his left moved forward “What time did you say the next bus was?”
Leggy’s tapping went into over-drive,
“FOR THE TENTH TIME, I DON’T KNOW”
Muscles’ instantly flexed his chest, his aggression was almost palpable,

LOL excellent story, but a pity they couldn’t give each other a hand LOL 😀
Ha ha, touche 😉
Haha! You had me grinning and groaning.
I apologise, a bit of a christmas cracker joke alright 😉
Well done Helen lovely conversation, loved the wall of muscle.
I like the way you’ve merged the guys’ personalities with the mannequin parts!
Haha! I’m happy to see so many upbeat or humorous stories this week. Some weeks it gets downright depressing (although mine wasn’t one of the former this week.) 🙂
As for your guys, sometimes it’s just hard to get ahead.

Ha Ha, the lure to pun was strong with this one 😉
Fun stuff! Could see this as an animated comedy, if it doesn’t go to their head!
Ha Ha 😉
I love how you gave each part its own character. LOL.
Thanks 🙂
Oh dear, I had to laugh at your silly punning! Cute story.
It was such a christmas cracker joke, I apologise, lol 🙂
I love their banter, this was so funny!
Thanks 🙂

That’s men for you, no patience, lol 😉
ha, ha…good one. loved the punchline…
Thank you 🙂
…most welcome!
Oh, this is a good one! You have to go back and read it all again with a cockney accent and it’s even better!
Hilarious, darling. The Countess read this one out loud in her Dickensian urchin voice and it was brilliant.
Thank you 🙂
So funny and well done, Helen. I love your work, and this one is really fun. Love that each body part has its own voice.
Ahh, thank you 🙂
🙂
Hilarious! ‘wall of muscle’ indeed!
‘armless was the best! Haha great job! 🙂
Very funny, some great phrases in here. Well done.
Dear Helen,
A punny tale indeed. “Armless.” Grinning as I type.
shalom,
Rochelle
Hahaha, can’t stop laughing!
So funny, Helen. I loved their names! Muscle man is not much of a threat without arms. Ha ha.
Great dialogue.
Fun story! I thought of characters in an absurdist play barking at each other.
Dear Helen,
Going to be interesting seeing them get on the bus, too. Well done here.
Aloha,
Doug
