Yes, it’s time for Friday Fictioneers. The challenge a story in 100 words, issued by the multi-talented Rochelle Wisoff Fields and the photo this week is from Roger Bultot.
So here is my story.
Steve sat at the table nearly every day, a cold sandwich and drink in the bag beside him.
Watching the new construction at the amusement park. A former ‘Carnie’, now out of work due to the pandemic. So many others too, waiting for this park to open, praying their skill and experience would mean that job they needed.
He’d heard you could apply on-line; what ever that meant. He could run all the rides, and shill most games, but the internet? That was a mystery he couldn’t solve.

Poor Steve, the world has left him behind. Well written.
Thank you so much
A sad reality for many. The internet has left many behind.
As I sit in my home and do all the phone and computer stuff for technology disinclined hubby, I sure see that reality
If you don’t get your foot on the ride before it starts, it’s almost impossible to join it later. That applies to technology as well as fairground rides.
so very true! thanks for reading
Dear Mary,
The times they are a-changing. It’s a merry-go-round that never stops. My heart hurt for your MC. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
