AnElephantCant contain himself
He can’t believe his ears
It is Wednesday again
This is the day when
He writes a tale for the Fictioneers
Just write a 100 word story about this picture prompt.

Magic
And this ring is more powerful than any of these potions or lotions or …..?
Yes, it is the most potent piece of magic in the shop.
And how does it work exactly?
You just need her to put it on – look, it is very attractive, don’t you agree? – and say the magic word, then she will love you forever. It is totally irreversible.
And what is the magic word?
Let me write that down for you. Don’t want to do anything silly with this on!
How do you pronounce that?
Auchenshuggle.
Oh no!
Am I prettier than she is?
Dear Elephant, I really don’t feel sorry for him as his real love doesn’t love him and he tried to force the love with trickery. I’m glad that it backfired! Nan
I know what Auchenshuggle is now..:-)
It was never a secret!
And thank you for visiting (here, not Auchenshuggle, you would not like it!)
Oops. Where do you go when the magic goes awry?
AnElephant goes home and hides under the bed!
Love it… I saw where it was going towards the end. A fun read & another great Flash!
Thank you, so happy you enjoyed AnElephant’s little whimsy.
Very funny – I love the magic word (but I won’t be saying it aloud just in case!)
Thank you so much.
Auchenshuggle is actually a real place!
Gotta love a good scam!

Glad you enjoyed!
Clever story. Time for a drink.
Thank you for visiting.
But AnElephant’s blog is alcohol-free!
Once again, you bring humor to the Fictioneers.
For the Elephant, we shall give three cheers!
AnElephantCant get too excited
He decides to keep it low key
It is a great crime
But he can’t find a rhyme
For his verse-atile new friend Zooky
Now there’s entrapment at its finest. Clever tale, Elephant.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you, Rochelle, your visit is appreciated.
Hilarious! Delightful! Serves both of them right for trying to trap some other innocent, unsuspecting person! A very nice piece of writing, Elephant.
Thank you, Sandra, AnElephant is thrilled by your kind words!
Love it — but it might be a better choice
Thanks, Bjorn, your weekly input is appreciated.
Maybe she can hop on one foot and say the word backwards to reverse the spell. If he had my luck she would resemble a bull dog!
Yeah, good shout Joe!
Elgguhsnehcua just rolls off the tongue!
Loved this, made me laugh out loud
Well done Elephant
Dee
Thank you, Dee, smiley Elephant now!
I also smiled. Well done.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed.
Lol. And he’ll live happily never after. Since it’s irreversible, he had better drink some of the potion himself now or life will be misery! At least then he’d be in love and think himself happy instead of having a lovesick conjurer after him for the rest of his days.
Oh golly gosh, maybe he needs to get run over too!

Because I can’t leave well enough alone – And I didn’t want to leave you stranded in some fog of the middle road somewhere. Oh to be young and in love…
…. but preferably with the right person!
Did you have to pay twice this week?
When the muse says… “Write me!” I don’t argue.
I could write for hours if I had the time…
Though I do get stuck if it goes on too long – I’ve not written any novels – yet.
Mostly poetry, then Flash Fiction.
I’ve seen other folks post more than once – so I guess it’s OK.
I’ll play, writing – that is with anyone who asks…
public or private.
A smile just passed my lips…
AnElephant smiles back, happily.
Nice to see you, Margaret.
Oh dear. It just got very complicated, didn’t it.
Denmother
Life is not always as simple as AnElephant!
Thank you for visiting.
She wears the ring
A pretty thing
The word is said
It’s in her head
Like it or not
She’s what you’ve got.
Peace, Brother.
That’s life
Maybe fate
Looks like
They have a date
hahahaha disaster! and you turned the restaurant into a magic potion shop, too cool! ^^ ^^ ^^ well done
Laughter and enjoyment.
AnElephant is chuffed to bits!
Hahahahahahaha!
Wait… ahahahahahaha!
This is hilarious dear Elephant 😀 😀 😀
Did it amuse then?
So pleased!
Oh yes it did! 😀
love it… what a story… well done/
Thank you so much for your visit and your kind words.
That’s an amazing word. This is so funny, made me laugh out loud! :D, (oh and yes graphics! you’re quite good you know!)
And a real place!
AnElephant is always happy to raise a laugh.
bet cha she won’t have to pay for that… or maybe she will.
Everything has a price!
Thanks for visiting.
LMAO! 😆
Quite a few As being Loed here!
Glad to amuse, RoSy.
Oops!
Ah well, what can you say?
Well, anything except Auchenshuggle probably!
Oooh, a magic shop…My one son was into escape tricks. And was really quite good too.
Lovely little tale…’Buyer beware!’ And your little shopkeeper too!
Thanks, Jules, happy you liked it.
Great stuff Brian! LMAO…. loved this one
Two As LOed in one post!
Glad you enjoyed, Roxi.
Oh poo, what’s he gonna do with her?!!
Perhaps love will find a way?
Love…pffft. 😉
Whoops!!
janet
Pretty much, yep!
Clapping wildly. Something always manages to go wrong – hope the shop keeper is cute!!!
Bowing gracefully and gratefully.
…and now for my next trick, I will make it impossible for you to not visualize a monkey riding George W. Bush bareback whilst smoking a corncob pipe and singing Freebird in perfect Swedish.
(okay, maybe I lost you a bit on that last bit). Adorably absurd, darling!
LMAO!!
Uncomfortable but graphic! Glad you enjoyed!
Not just the last bit, choochie!
Glad you liked.
Ah haha! That’s right up there with “don’t push the big red button – this one?” Love it. My wife was looking over my shoulder and we read this together. We both had a good laugh.
Two laughs for the price of one.
Happy heffelump here!
I thought you might be a happy pachyderm, but I’ll take it. Thanks for swinging by.
I believe ‘Oops!’ is the understatement appropriate to these occasions?
AnElephant went for the polite version of the Scots Awwww Nawwwww!
Woohoo … brilliant. I love that. Just shows that when you try to force someone to love you, something will go wrong.
Too true, Al!
🙂
