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!

Man of Mystery
Where’s Jack?
Usually at this time we’re sitting together in the bay window, sipping coffee, gazing at the Mediterranean, with the window open to catch the cry of the gulls and the fragrance of the rosemary bush outside.
He’s been banging about all morning. I heard the Hoover twenty minutes ago – but it’s not a day he usually cleans.
“Sorry the coffee’s late, Mandy.”
He puts it on the table.
“What have you been doing?”
He smiles. “International man of mystery, that’s me!”
The doorbell shrills. Jack answers, and feet stampede into the lounge.
“Hello, great-granny!” chorus our three great-grandchildren.
