Every week, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields (thank you, Rochelle!) hosts a flash fiction challenge, to write a complete story, based on a photoprompt, with a beginning, middle and end, in 100 words or less. Post it on your blog, and include the Photoprompt and Inlinkz (the blue frog) on your page. Link your story URL. Then the fun starts as you read other peoples’ stories and comment on them!

The Last Gardener
I’m odd. I like to go outside, walk under the open sky. I was doing that one day when I met a bearded giant wielding some primitive implement.
“What are you doing?”
“Plantin’ beans.”
“What do you mean?”
“I put beans into the ground. They grow, and in a few months I’ll be eating fresh beans!”
He beckoned.
“See this? Proper sweetcorn. Not that stuff you grow in tanks. ‘Nother eight weeks I’ll be eatin’ corn on the cob.”
“You’re going to eat that?”
“Absolutely!”
I fled from him back to the hygiene of the city.
I’m not that odd!
