The Friday Fictioneer Challenge: Write a 100-word story based on the photo.

Right or Wrong
“This wasn’t here last time!” Trina exclaimed. The boulder blocked their path.
Trudy rolled her eyes at her younger, twin sister.
“Maybe it fell out of the sky?” Trina guessed.
“Boulders don’t just come out of nowhere!” Trudy objected.
Trina defended herself, “Just because you are 12 minutes older than me doesn’t make you always right about everything!”
A loud, whooshing sound caused them to look up. Another boulder plunged towards them, crashing into Trina, killing her.
Finally Trudy acquiesced, “Well, sis, you were right. I was wrong. Boulders do fall out of the sky. Who knew?”

I wrote a second version of this story, based on a comment from my fellow Friday Fictioneer writer, Granonine. Read the second version of Right or Wrong here.

Haha – twin sisters, neither budging, twin boulders, and a wizard of oz moment. Excellent. Sorry if that summary seems flippant but I am smiling so much. Thank you. And I did check out your linked recommendation and listened to the recording. Another fine flash.
nice story! I love to hear about twins, i did one too, and link to you, for getting the prompt from you. 100 words isn’t much, it was a challenge, anyway: here’s mine. https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/21015245/posts/1556073034
Oh my, what a way to be proved right – was it worth the sacrifice!?
Trudy can mark “being wrong” off her bucket list. She probably thinks it will never happen again.
Was it wrong of me to smile, given that she died horribly? 🙂
Not wrong. I’m sure she didn’t suffer.
Must be a giant around. Well done!
Maybe it’s from a thunder battle between stone giants (a la The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey).
So sad that she had to prove it with her life .
The boulder hit the wrong one.
So true! I could have written it that way!
Thanks for your comment! You gave me the idea to write another version with a different ending. http://wp.me/p12dOq-4NS
Oh thanks heaps! It’s great to be proven right, but…
Good tale, Tresh.
(The that auto-correct! It changed your name to Fresh. Good thing I caught it. 😲 )
I said “hate that” but I see it had the last word.😣
I agree with Granonine! She is very disagreeable. Poor Trina and the wrong twin got squashed! Cute story!
Oh dear oh dear, in her defense, rocks don’t fly around every day. Or do they? Great story.
