The Mysterious Book Swap

 


Friday Fictioneers

Challenge - Photo Prompt - Exactly 100 words

The whole village is talking about it. “Have you seen it?” “Where did it come from?” We’re a small village so the slightest thing becomes a gossip point.

“Well, it’s nothing to do with the council” crowed Mrs Evans “or I’d know about it”

“The guides aren’t involved” exclaimed Brown Owl and the scouts are away at camp.

“Is it the new chap at the bookshop trying to attract customers?” asked Mr Stiles from the post office.

It’s so much fun watching everyone put on their metaphorical deerstalkers…the game is afoot

Maybe I’ll own up once I’ve had my fun
