50 Word Thursday #42

She had looked on so many unlovely places in her life, poor child; but this was as lovely as anything she had ever dreamed, that was until the tourists started to come.

Some said they were uncouth, some said they were busy bodies, some said they should have had better things to do but the girl just smiled politely as they examined the house that she had constructed on her own and waved as they left.

Perhaps if they’d been more cautious they would have read the waiver they sighed or wondered why the locals called her light fingers Lucy.

50 Word Thursday #39 – The Results

Thanks to all who turned out and gave this one a shot, I suspect I was a bit limiting with my picture so my next turn I am going to give you something so open to interpretation that you’ll all be writing a book.

Anyway, as always let me point you in Kristian’s  direction for this week’s prompt, which I am sure will challenge all of us to do our best.
