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

Retirement Plan
As a temporary employee, Bill met all kinds of people all over. Some stood in his cubicle doorway seemingly like forever, complaining about how busy they were. Others spent a great deal of energy planning their retirement 20-plus years down the road. Over the short cubicle walls, he regularly overheard arguments between the Comma Cliques: those who advocated for the Oxford comma, those against it at all costs.
Bill looked at his staple collection, aghast at how quickly time passed with so little accomplished and decided on his own new retirement plan: buy a lottery ticket on the way home.

Porch Doors in Travis Heights
I found these while on an urban hike through Travis Heights (Austin, Texas).
Thursday is for Doors over at Norm 2.0.
Sunflower with Spider Friend
I particularly like finding flowers with friends. I photographed this pair early in the morning.
I manipulated it in Lightroom by toning down the clarity. (I love the “Clarity” feature in Lightroom.) When I increase the clarity I am amazed at the amount of detail that shows up. This time, however, I decreased the clarity as far as it could go, giving the photograph a somewhat dreamy look.
Sparklers
Fluorescent sparklers. Who knew?
