I stare at the vine-covered barn with its rotting wood, wretched roof, overgrown barnyard. A door opens and a woman runs from the building as a man holding a pistol steps into the opening. Her body stiffens as she stops, clutches her side, then falls to the ground.
I hear the soft clicks of a camera and turn toward the bearded photographer standing by my side. I do not need to see the proofs. I know he’s captured the perfect shot for the posters advertising “Death in the Country”, my new movie which is due to be released in June.

Great take on the prompt! Well done.
Dear VB,
A refreshing take on the prompt. Good job!
Shalom,

Ah I have not seen any Friday Fictioneers story since I joined in December go in this direction. Original and inventive. The drama was staged, but I feared it might be real.
Me neither! Excellent approach! And well written too, VB
A clever idea, that!
Man, I was waiting for the photographer to become company to the deceased!
Oh that’s very different!
All sorts of possibilities came to my mind as I read the narrator turn to the bearded man, but none was about a movie endorsement!
Very original!
Hmm, a real movie or not? Great job.
Here’s mine: http://unexpectedpaths.com/friday-fictioneers/death-throes/
Good luck with your premiere.
Sounds like a great movie
Nice take on the picture. Quite clever. “-)
Hi V.B.,
Nice, the way you twisted reality. At first I thought they were real memories, until you revealed the movie. Great turnaround. Ron
Sure hope it wasn’t real. Hate it when I see photographs or video of people suffering and the photographer just keeps shooting pics. WHY DON’T THEY HELP!!
this was a good write-up
