Jack B's 100 Word Challenge Week 26


The sun shone through the tree. Easter wasn’t normally like this, 27 degrees C, so I had to make the most of this rare occasion. I sat at the side of the quiet road with a picnic blanket on the floor and lots of food. An anxious-looking man approached me. I wondered what he wanted.
“Excuse me, could you help me?” he said.
“I’ve lost my car keys and can’t  get in!” 
I left my Easter chocolate bunny on the path, took my hammer and smashed the window.
“Thanks!” he said gleefully. I returned to my picnic. Disaster had struck…
…the chocolate rabbit melted in the sun…

    Nice use of punctuation today.

    1. Thanks Mrs Prior!
      Its based on a true story from my family. My cousin leaves his sandwich behind to help a friend, and when he comes back it was nicked!

  2. Hi Jack, my name is Dr R from Team 100WC; I enjoyed this tiny anecdote, how funny to learn it's based on a true event... It's all surreal, maybe you could explain why you happened to have a hammer on you, that's unusual for a picnic, even one at Eastertide!
