Rochelle Wishoff-Fields’ weekly 100 word challenge.
Ellen cringed as the door squealed in protest. “Come inside,” she said waving to Bill.
“Are you crazy? This place is ancient.”
“Stop being negative. This place is perfect. Look at the windows, the light, and space. My God, it’s like an open canvas.” She spun around like a schoolgirl. “Can’t you see it?”
“What I see is a money pit,” he said lifting the cord on the strange switch box. “Who wired this place, Mickey Mouse?” He shook his head, “But, I see the appeal.”
She squealed, clapping her hands. “Yes?
“A suckers born every minute,” he said, smiling.

Shalom,
Rochelle

Is this the first Friday Fictioneers you’ve done since May 2012? That photo was one of my first ten stories.
At any rate, it’s nice to see you back. Don’t be a stranger.
Shalom,
Rochelle

This was a difficult photo, or would be for me, but you found just the right complement to it. I love the give and take between the couple, and that he came around in the end. 🙂
