Hollingshead (Friday Fictioneers)

2018-3-11 Friday Fictioneers   Friday Fictioneers is a group of writers who enjoy a good challenge. Each Wednesday a photo is shared and used as the prompt for writing. You can find the image on Facebook at the Friday Fictioneer's page, or you can visit Rochelle Wiseoffs blog for instruction.

Here's what Rochelle says:

THE CHALLENGE: 

Write a one hundred word story that has a beginning, middle, and end. 

(No one will be ostracized for going over or under the word count.) 

THE KEY: 

Make every word count.

Clancy, groundskeeper for the Barrister’s for over fifty years, kept the shrubs pruned, and the walkways clear at Hollingshead. Guests would come and go with fancy cars and elite watches, while Clancy watched to see that the debris of their privilege did not clutter up the area. Every once in a while, Clancy added a new stone sculpture to the small green area near the waterway, but no one noticed. They simply nodded their heads, careened the corner, walked, and talked business. Had they paid better attention, they would have realized where some of the guests make their permanent stay.
