No Way In
It’s time for Friday Fictioneers again! It’s hard to believe a whole week has passed already. Friday Fictioneers is hosted by Rochelle, and we all try to write a 100 word post in response to a photo prompt, which this week is supplied by Rich Voza.
This week’s prompt is rife with possibilities – and I got nuffin’! Therefore I’m going to try a spot of dialogue with a truly silly ending. I’m even popping it in my “Just Silly” category :-). A bit of mid-week madness, if you will.

“What the… what’re those doors doing sat there like that?”
“Dunno, man. Weird. What’re you doing?”
“Looking for the hidden cameras.”
“I don’t see any.”
“Me neither. Hey, what’s this chap up to?”
“Aaargh! No!” yelled the new arrival, skidding to a stop.
“What’s wrong, man?”
“Don’t you see? Look!”
“What, the weird doors?”
“Yeah! Someone’s stolen my house!”
“Your house?”
“Yeah! They’ve just left the doors!”
The new arrival looked thoughtful and then began to laugh.
“What’s so funny? Someone’s just stolen your house!”
“The joke’s on them!” he giggled. “How are they gonna get in without the doors?”
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

It’s a shaggy dog story with a graphic! Very funny and cool picture, too.

Yes, that’s it! I was trying to remember the “category” for my little yarn – it’s a shaggy dog story, of course.
It is a cool picture – shame it’s not mine!
After my previous Friday Fictioneers entries I thought it was time for a bit of comedy.

A “shaggy dog story” is typically a long-winded (well 100 word!) narrated anecdote with a pointless or anticlimactic punchline.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Me to, I don’t know the shaggy dog story.
This is difficult for me to write, your comedic dialogue is as good as your dark side. I love your dark writings.
I liked this too thanks.

Dear Draliman,
They just walk through the holes where the doors used to be, right? Nice story. Deft touch with the dialog.

Dear Draliman,
Why do I suddenly see Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey? Yup, Dumb and Dumber. Fun dialogue that painted a clear picture of the characters.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I usually try to do a clever little twist or something like that, but I couldn’t think of anything so I did a quick bit of dialogue instead. It seems to have worked though 🙂
Thank you for reading and commenting!
