Microfiction Monday #42


Susan from 'Stony River' organises and hosts this weekly meme. Thank you Susan J She provides a picture and the challenge is to create a story in 140 characters or less – including punctuation! Click here to read more marvels of microfiction – and perhaps join in. It's fun!
Here is this week's picture and my offering.
Desirable location. Needs some refurbishment. Suit first-time buyer.
Bob sighed, How much longer could he carry on writing lies for a living?

  5. Made me chuckle...at an open house several months ago I wondered how that poor real estate agent could bear to show his face there: The house was just a dump! Lies, indeed!

  10. Oh, those real estate agents! How do they sleep at night?! I suppose they don't think they are being deceptive, just pointing out the positives in the property, no matter how bad it is!

  13. Wow, what a twist. I didn't expect to see the saleman at the end.
    Hmm. Something in me is trying to think of a way to re-word it so that he can sell the house and still be honest. Trying to take care of his soul.

  15. Aw, poor Bob! That's a nice human twist on the real-estate-listing angle (I've been *loving* these, so bummed I didn't think of it!)

  17. Poor Bob, sounds as if he needs to find a new line of work. I guess he isn't in it for the Commission??
