It’s my first Friday Fictoneer’s entry! You can read the prompt here: http://rochellewisofffields.wordpress.com/2014/01/29/31-january-2014/
Cricket stumbled into her position on the factory floor. There were piles of bud to seed. It must not go out with seeds in it. The seeds belonged to the factory owners.
Demand was up, up, up. Cricket was down, down, down.
A little wouldn’t hurt.
Cricket smoked to her hearts content. She woke many hours later when it was dark. Everyone was gone.
The ganja had worn off. The sign made sense. No smoking in the factory.

Hope Cricket didn’t have far to walk home and that she wasn’t fired from her job for sleeping on it. 🙂

Thank you. The green haze in the photo and the legalizing of ganja in a few states inspired me.

This was a very creative story using that prompt. I have to admit I had to look up the word “ganja”.

Thank you for reading and commenting. I honestly thought that ganja was a more common word than it turned out to be.

I didn’t think of that kind of smoking. Now that the ganga is gone, how about a Red Stripe? 🙂

It’s such a great feeling when you appreciate your own work. 😀 Are you doing the Prompt this week too?

I feel that if I don’t like what I write, my chances of someone else not liking it are pretty high.
I’m working on FF this week, getting my novel ready for publication, and a humor poetry contest. Prompt is fun, but not a priority for me right now.

Oh my! I can’t believe I missed your first foray into Friday Fictioneers. Welcome and well done. The sign was indeed there for a reason though I don’t one could blame her. Though now would be a good time to disappear. I bet the owners will be none to pleased.
