Friday Fictioneers and I are back. One photo, 100 words, one story.

Ana’s hands slipped on the steering wheel and she jerked the truck back onto the road. Ben would never have expected her to take the old farm truck. But, he’d come home early in as foul a temper and went into the study to pour a whiskey. She was gone as soon as she heard the ice clink in his glass. Thank God, I left the gate open, Ana thought as she put her foot to the floor of the derelict truck. The sounds of bleating sheep and Ben’s furious honking faded into the distance, like a nightmare upon waking.
Vers Les Etoiles 
A powerful story Hannah. I love the image of the sheep as her protectors. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I didn’t really think of them being anything other than a barrier–I like the idea that they were her protectors, since they’re usually the ones needing protecting. Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice idea!
Thank you! Wonderful photo!
Oh, that’s clever, darling — having the sheep run interference like that. Welcome back my friend to the show that never ends.
There’s no business like show business!
What a daring escape!
It could easily have gone very baaaaaadly!
…and just when I was about to take you seriously….
You should know by now to NEVER take me seriously! You really can’t take me anywhere…
🙂
Ha haa ha! I bet!
in as foul a temper – perhaps you mean in a fowl temper?
Thanks for a great escape story!! Sometimes one can’t get away fast enough.
Barnyard puns are just so easy with this one! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for reading!
Clever Ana. And wise too – getting away from all that.
And all thanks to the sheep!
And she’s off to parts unknown. Swell story! Loved the description on the last part.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Hannah, Good story and a clever escape. It sounds like she’s been planning that for some time and with good reason. Well done. 🙂 —Susan
Thank you, Susan!
Dear Hannah,
Nice escape plan. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Dear Hannah, WONDERFUL! Well written, and you are so very clever for having a perfect escape for her from her ill tempered husband. Well done! Nan Claire 🙂
Nan–Thank you! I decided to finally write a FF piece that had a happier ending than usual. No sheep were harmed in the making of this tale.
