Written as part of the Friday Fictioneers challenge hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields (more details HERE). The idea is to write a short story of 100 words based on the photo prompt (above).

Struggling for inspiration and time with this prompt, but here’s to a Happy New Year and all the best for 2019 to you all!
