Hello. It’s time for another Friday Fictioneers entry. The challenge is to write a 100-word story in response to a weekly photo prompt chosen by our host Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. Follow the link to her blog for more information. A bit of a ‘nothing piece’ this week, but a ‘nothing piece’ is better than nothing. Thank you to all who take the time to read, like, or comment.

The Battle of Idur-Gu’un.
“Put it away, we’re in a restaurant! I’m sorry,” he said, turning to me. “She’s had her nose in that book all day.”
She ignored him, of course. I could see the evening going downhill rapidly. I’d never wanted to get involved with someone who had children. It was then that I noticed the title of the book.
“What chapter are you on?” I asked.
“The Battle of Idur-Gu’un.”
I stood up.
“We have to leave,” I said.
“Why?”
“She can’t read that here; it’s too incredible! She needs to be home and comfortable. Come on, we’ll get a takeaway.”
Word count: 100.
