With noble efforts, Rochelle Wisoff hosts the Friday Fictioneers, whose abilities to create complete stories in 100 words based on the weekly photo prompt may go down in record books (or not). Regardless, after reading my entry below, please click > HERE < for the rest of the stories. Enjoy!!!
Truth be told, I needed another 50 words or so here to do what I wanted to do with justice. I plan to add this section to part 8 of the longer story and give it what it deserves. If this doesn’t make sense to you, read the other 7 parts listed on my blog under the Carolyn page.

Crashing
By Scott L Vannatter – 100 words
Carolyn looked in a kind of awe at the sight in front of her. There, on the porch of the old house, were rows of old lamps without shades. Her mind told her the obvious: garage sale pre-apocalyptica. However, she continued to stare. The owners were gone, obviously, and most of the lamps, being electrical, could no longer be used.
Finally, her impish side won out. She picked up a small rock, took aim, and, dozens of pieces of glass and metal fell to the ground. Then emotions took over and anger spilled until all of the lamps were broken.

i agree with Sandra, this feels like a great standalone piece. i’m glad she was able to release some of that pent-up anger. boy i bet she was very angry!

Ah, see, you have read some of the others and know at least a little of why she is angry!

She is probably mad about the apocalyptic world she is in anyway. No more electricity? That would be harsh unless a different power source had replaced it – which I am sure will happen some day. Good story – Thanks! Nan

I don’t know how many of her other adventures you have read, but they tell you why.
I strayed just a bit from the FF rules; this isn’t a totally informative stand-alone story. Yes, she is very angry.
