Lost

PHOTO PROMPT © Dale Rogerson

The moment she walked in to the room was when she realised there had been a mistake.  Firstly she was overdressed for the occasion; secondly this did not even remotely look like the function she was supposed to be attending and lastly everyone was staring at her.

A dapper old man headed in her direction. 

“What a great idea to come to the opening of the Ballroom Bar dressed like a dancer.”


Cinderella wished fairy godmother had ordered an Uber instead of turning those incompetent mice into a ride.  They probably couldn’t find their way out of a maze.

I am in middle of school holidays and travel, so I have ended up missing last week's episode of the Fictioneers.  Thankfully I have managed to put one in today and returned to a theme that I have frequently explored - fractured fairy tales.

The other thing that I am attempting this month is the AtoZ Challenge.  I have decided to challenge myself and use 'Poetry' as my theme.   I am behind by a few days but I hope to catch up.  Soon.  Or so I think ;-)

    1. She does indeed. Could have done the whole thing on AirTasker for Cinderella. Thanks for your comments Ali.
