I admit it! I wasted way too much time writing this—all the words in today’s story are taken from the signs in the photo (hence a few creative word spellings)—but I adore this barn and had fun combing through the old signs. So, if the signs could speak to a lost driver, using only the words this have at their disposal, what would they say? Maybe something like this…
Prattsville Tavern? Your a visitor. Of course…Musta got lost.
You are here, a dead end. One way to Prattsville is…take a big right below Community Reformed Church. Road closed—caution in detour zone—and turn left at Palazzo’s.
Hall your pick-up truck north—6 miles. This area is under live fire. Keep out. Official business only: Hunters. Do not stop and waste your Sunday.
Cross east. Do not enter De Wolf Farm—off limits to your big truck—your not allowed at any time.
Turn right on Daken Trail. Entrance to Prattsville Tavern is in this area.
As always, many thanks for Rochelle Wisoff-Fields for hosting Friday Fictioneers! Stop over and read a wonderful array of 100-word-fiction pieces based on this photo prompt!

Indeed! I had a lot of fun building a ‘character’ out of a few words.

Haha! That was fun, Angela. Sounds like driving in Montreal 😉 Hopefully at the end of the road is a nice cold one and some good eats!

Hehehe. I believe it! I’ve been a few places in the midwest US that feel this way, too… But one of the great things about travel is there’s good food and beverage if you look hard enough. Right?

Hehe. It did, but it reminded me of those word magnets my roomie and I had on our fridge in college, so I think nostalgia took over…

Thank you! I was trying to craft a sign ‘character’ out of just the words. Some may call it insane, but I’m glad you saw the creativity in it, hehe! ;).

Very clever. I bet that was fun to write. I do like that you started with the ‘dead end’ one.

Margaret, thank you! It was surprisingly amusing, but drove me a bit crazy when I couldn’t edit as usual… 🙂
