It’s Friday Fictioneers time again! As always it is hosted by Rochelle and this week’s 100 word photo prompt has been provided by fellow Fictioneerer Adam Ickes.

You can see other entries here – more are added every day, or have a go yourself – it’s fun!

That looks to me like a Native American in the background – if it isn’t, it is for this story!

They’d broken away from their tribes, eschewing modern technology. They wanted to recapture the lives of their ancestors. Over a hundred had gathered in a remote valley to live according to the ways of a long-gone age, following a history gleaned more from John Wayne movies than from textbooks.

From time to time backpackers wandered into their valley. Waste not, want not. Why just take a scalp when the entire body is covered with good, useful skin?

Of course in this modern age they needed money, so they sold their products in town. Their best-seller?
