I am so glad they showed me this shortcut; it’s so much faster. I am already late; dinner will be served soon. My hotel is just around the corner. I will take a shower, dress up and will storm the buffet, like all the other tourists.
I just wish all these Greek houses wouldn’t look alike. I love to glance at them from the beach, but right now I am hoping to see some color that could guide me.
Almost there, “Nope, that isn’t it.
I am lost, will have to turn around. I will be late for dinner -again.
The 100-word Friday Fictioneers is hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. I joined this beautiful challenge last week and had a ball. Step on the magical online carpet >>>here<<< and check it out.
It’s fun. Thank you~!
Nice one! I don’t think turning around at this point is going to help though. Once stuck in the maze … 😉
I can’t tell you how often I had to turn around, because the shortcut didn’t work out. The alleys in Greece and Italy are very confusing.
hahahaha!! I wondered if this was a story anchored in fact. I was right!! 😀
I am not a writer, I am storyteller 🙂
I sympathize. Getting lost is a terrible feeling. It would be especially bad when you know you’ll be late for a meal. Good writing, NSL. 🙂 — Suzanne
Thank you Suzanne, I appreciate your kind words.
I love Greece but haven’t been in years. Lucky you for being there!
I was born in Europe. Greece was just around the corner (like everything else),.
Oh dear, I hope something is left when she finally arrives. These alleys often do look the same.
Dear Happy Quitter,
I guess you could call this story a misdirection. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle
I wouldn’t count on there being much left on the buffet table…
🙂
A mazeing….you might say.
Oh I love your wording. Well done Mr. Bjoern. 🙂
Greek backstreets are so often maze-like, as I once discovered! Great little story
My hair-raising tale
Thank you. I love Greece and the Greek islands.
Isn’t that often the way with “shortcuts”?
So true isn’t it.
Enjoyed that. I loved the certainty that faded and the concentration on dinner!
Thank you Hilary. It is always good to see you. I like this 100 word challenge. I never thought I could do it.
Nice one. It does look like you might be stuck in a maze!
Many cities in Europe have small alleys like that. I remember Naples, Italy so well. I could touch both sides when I stretched my hands out.
Cool. I like those places that feel caught in history. 🙂
Good one!
Thank you Lisa
