“Using this photo (below) as inspiration, write a short story, flash fiction, scene, poem; anything, really; even just a caption for the photograph. Either put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at keithchanning@gmail.com before 6pm on Sunday (if you aren’t sure what the time is where I live, this link will tell you). If you post it on your own blog or site, a link to this page would be appreciated, but please do also mention it in a comment here.

Go on. You know you want to. Let your creativity and imagination soar. I shall display the entries next time.”

“Looks great. Let’s go see it.”

“That means getting a flight. We always lose out when we spend too much time. So I say we make an offer. How bad could it be?”

“I suppose you are right. Give the agent a call. I wish there was a picture, though.”

  7. I’ll lay odds more than one person got rooked into buying a house just like that. 😏🙄
    But I thought about MY luck. ‘I wanted to rebuild the Florida room, but that dang tree landed on the new kitchen!’

      1. Here, too… I wouldn’t say five figures over but so many are being over paid. Makes me wanna kick myself for not hanging on to my former house and buying this one that I do not like…

  12. Oh, dear. I would never be brave enough to buy something sight unseen. Of course, even a picture can be misleading, especially if it’s an old one before the tree fell on it! We looked at places here in Spain that didn’t look anything like the picture. Glad we waited until we got here.

    1. The last two houses that we bought we found on the internet. Of course, we visited but could have easily bought them sight unseen. In fact our current house I never saw until we moved in. (The Producer was tasked with finding and buying. I had full faith she would do a great job and she did.)

  13. Good one John, and maybe not too far into the realm of fiction.

    There are some houses on the market around here that are selling and aren’t in much better condition than that one. Being on the train line to New York City, caused more than a few New Yorkers to snatch up houses quickly during the great escape portion of the pandemic, without a lot of thought, I fear

        1. Thank you for the information. I could see our city council going into fits of hysteria over something like this. They would have nixed it on a violation of the height restrictions. I thought it interesting that the original owners son was against being declaired a heritage site.
