Fast Fashion
Paul and John's 47-Words Short Story Unofficial Challenge
“Gidday.”
“Hi, Dad.”
“Stevie’s camping at Uluru…”
“Nice.”
“Yep. He got a new wardrobe…”
“Really? Out there?”
“Overnight, he strung his clean washing on a clothesline, from the back of his car. Next day, fifty clicks down the track, he spotted a lone sock flying behind him.”
*
A/N, to clarify: Stevie forgot to check the back of his car the next morning, prior to driving off. Way down the road, the trailing washing had not fared well in the wake of his speedy departure. Hence, the need for replacement clothes!
My work-mate suggested three more words: “Next stop… Op-shop!” Apparently Alice Springs (a few hundred km away) has an excellent Op-shop.
