Friday Fictioneers – Stone
My usual enormous gratitude and the homemade cake of her choice to Rochelle for running FriFic. Here is this week’s prompt:
Each and every comment and criticism is welcome, please leave yours below!
As soon as she unlocked the workshop door, she felt it. Something was out of place, the air was disturbed. She didn’t see it at first, but as she rounded the bench, there was the second face, her mallet and chisels laid casually, teasingly, alongside.
She was reminded of the watercolour she painted two months ago, and the alternative landscape which appeared overnight. And the squirrel wood carving, its tail morphed into a python. All of these hybrids, these conjoined improvements, had been done inside a locked workshop, outside her knowledge.
She realised now who the second artist must be.
Who??? Who is it? Now I’m dying to know.
i have a sort of theory… it’s a locked room so she must have done it herself, but whether in her sleep, in some kind of trance, in a possessed state, i dont know. But what do i know? i only observe and write it down.
Ooo. I’m totally thinking an alternate personality inside of her. Cool!
could be! i honestly dont know. could be a husband/whoever who has made a copy of the key and is messing with her. or it might be the art fairies

Interest tale, TAR. I love ‘locked room mysteries’. ‘there was the second face’… the use of the word ‘the’ is interesting. You might think of writing more on this piece.
Lack of time means this story wont get more than the 100 words but there is someting going on thats worth exploring
Oh please, don’t give me ‘lack of time’…
Oh, now I’m curious!
Well, “this story wont get more than the 100 words”, okay, but you can have a new post with the continuation of it, right? Someday?!
Someday….. maybeee…….
I agree with everyone else here. You left us dangling, and to say you don’t know “who” is a cop-out. You’re the writer. You’re the only one with the answer!
BTW, some of my most engaging storylines have had to develop through writing-exercise continuations.
Well i have theories but they are no more valid than anyone elses
