Friday Fictioneers – Write a 100-word story based on the Photo Prompt image above by  © Dale Rogersen

Queenie, so nicknamed after her Gran

Sat by the pool applying cream to her tan.

The pool was tempting, but her book lured her in more

What would the next chapter have in store?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She’d met a hotel guest, who loved to have a good read

They’d openly aired their problems; he’d sounded in need.

Of advice which Queenie was happy to give

He was a sad soul losing his will to live.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Her book was paused by a tap on the shoulder

When a bartender offered a tray

Of a cocktail and note simply saying

‘Thanks for saving my life yesterday.’

Thanks for reading – and thanks to Rochelle for another #FF prompt.
