FF – Shops of Death
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Roger Bultot.
“Look at this!”
“Boy, huge glasses. What’s that all about?”
“And all this, what would you call it?”
“Bric-a-brac.”
“Yep, bric-a-brac.”
“Trash.”
“What do they think they’re doing?”
“No idea. In fact, this whole high street is rubbish.”
“It’s a shit street.”
“Every shop a disaster.”
“Let’s go back to the car.”
…
Bric-a-brac shop calling all shops. We have been dissed. DESTROY THEM!
…
“Yes, Officer sob sob the shop sign just fell on him sob sob sliced his head clean off sob sob freak accident sob sob”

It’s important to display a deterrent to re-educate people like this!

That’s what’s so frightening about the demise of the high street. No more shops, no more need for us 😮

Serves him right for what he said. Little shops like this are truly the heart and soul of a country. Small business is where it’s at! Recycle, reuse, renew! Love that slogan!

Exactly! Arrogant pair.

I didn’t know I could laugh so much about a sentient shop, but I do. Never dismiss a bric-a-brac shop, a lesson to remember. 😀

Dear Ali,
That will teach them never to diss a bric-a brac shop.

Dear Rochelle,
Bric-a-brac shops are among the least forgiving of all the shops!

A very topical subject Ali. Shops have been blitzed, whilst the mountains of cardboard have grown.

Yes, I’m surprised there were enough shops left on that high street to take action.
