draliman on life

Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Al Forbes.

I’m really busy at the moment and thought of re-posting the story I wrote for this picture last year in the hopes that nobody would notice 🙂 but I decided to bung something together after all.

“Ah, look at those. I remember motoring down the road, wind in my hair…”

“Darling, stop it! You had an Austin Morris! Vintage car, indeed.”

“Wow, Dad. Cars have changed so much! When I grow up I’m gonna invent a flying car!”

“Hundreds have promised the same, son…”

Trevor looked wistfully at his “Amazing Flying Car”, rusting in the field. No way to power it since the Fuel Wars of the mid-twenty-first century. No fuel, no electricity. No civilisation, some would say.

Shaking his head, he nudged Daisy and headed to market. “Giddy-up, girl!”

Life was so much simpler now.
