The Friday Fictioneer Challenge: Write a 100-word story based on the photo. As a brief summer respite, some prompts are being reused. This week’s prompt was my first Friday Fictioneer story (May 2014).

The Scar
Ow! A sheep bit Trina’s hand as her arm dangled out the window. Her index finger was bleeding, next to her scar. She bared her teeth, growling at the herd.
The scar. She had been five and the goat she was feeding nipped her finger, thinking it a treat. Nana cleaned, bandaged and kissed it to make it better. Nana was in a nursing facility now, but Trina hadn’t visited in months.
She looked at her scar again. Taking out her phone to video the sheep, Trina smiled. Sunday I’ll visit Nana. Lots to talk about this time.

It's a long story ... 
Admirably chewy
Fingers look like some kind of treats to a lot of animals, right?
Sometimes it’s a good thing…
Talk about painful childhood memories! Very sweet story and very appropriate to tell again too. 🙂 Funny how things work out that way.
Quite good, Tresha. The Nana reference, yes. Love it.
Nice work!
some bites do trigger great memories

Yes, sometimes we don’t know the reasons for someone’s action until it is too late to thank them for it.
Nice twist to bring the story around to a warm conclusion.
Sweet story, Tresha. It took a bite to bring back that memory. I’m sure her grandmother will be overjoyed to see her. Good writing. 🙂 — Suzanne
