TINY TUESDAY


For this week's Tiny Tuesday, let's try an exercise in describing 'setting.' So here goes: Insert this sentence into your piece, "Here's your change, sir." And describe the surroundings. Have fun, Sammi

Pass the chopsticks, please (m)


What a delicious choice for this exercise! I envisioned Donald Duk’s quite well. Good job!

Hehehe…can’t say it has (m)


But I sure enjoyed reading about it happening to poor Frank. This was such a funny story and your setting couldn’t have been clearer. Were they waiting for the ferry? I hope Frank and Bruno show up again. I liked them!!!

Hey, Eyewrite....(m)


This hasn't happened to me, but I have met people that their cars are this messy. Good detail, Sammi

Thanks for reading, everyone...


Frank was at a toll booth for a ferry and was scrambling a certain amount to scrape up the cash for the trip. Bruno wasn't helping find the wallet, he was in play mode, lol.

I spent the weekend in a messy vehicle, hence the setting ;-)

Take care,

Eyewrite

Great voice! The only thing...


I didn't like about the story was it ended too soon! Make it longer, and repost? Please?

Great job, great piece.
