I’ve been away from Fictioneering for the past month – it’s been one thing after another in SharonWorld. It’s good to be back again, even if I’m not getting my story posted until almost midnight Saturday night.
Be sure to check out the Laws, or Polite Suggestions, or Group Customs of Fictioneering at Rochelle Wisoff-Fields’s blog, and don’t miss all the other stories based on this photo:
Family Feud
The Jacksons? Not one of them’s said a word to the rest ever since the old man died.
Tell the truth, they got along fine right up to the funeral. And then that old goat poked his nose between Joe and Bella – that’s the old man’s son and daughter – and started nibbling on the flowers.
Joe was ready to break its neck, and then Bella yelled at him for wanting to hurt a poor dumb animal. Next thing the whole family was shouting, and the priest was telling them to calm down and act decent, and the goat just kept on eating as fast as it could chew.
That goat always did enjoy funerals.
A Number of Things 
I like it! You’ve got humanity down to a ‘t’. Humans will blame anybody but themselves for their quarrels. Even a goat! Ann
We are a difficult bunch, aren’t we? But rarely boring.
Oh I don’t know about that! 🙂
good old goat, nice of people to get their true feelings out 🙂
Happy goat! Some feelings aren’t supposed to turn up at some events 😉
that’s just the problem 😉
What a powerful goat, he made things happen and got away with it by the skin of this teeth!
Lucky, powerful, or just single-minded and stubborn – anyway, he enjoyed his meal!
Dear Sharon,
Oh to be a goat now that summer’s here. Nice one.
shalom,
Rochelle
Goats do seem to enjoy themselves, don’t they?
Sharon, you’ve been missed. I hope life in SharonWorld has settled down and you’ll have a bit more time.

Thanks, Janet! I hope so too.
Nicely done. You can’t beat a funeral for family tensions.
Absolutely – emotions are guaranteed to be running high, even in the calmest group.
Could I just ask whether you found my comment in your spam filter Sharon?
Yes, I think I did. Have you been getting classified as spam often? That’s odd.
Every single one 🙂
😦
Pleased to see you’re back creating … 🙂
Thanks! It’s a relief to be back.
It’s good to know the goat carried on regardless 🙂
The goat knows what his priorities are!
Sorry, I just can’t help laughing at this one…so like a goat, too!
Go ahead and laugh – it’s meant to be funny! (Even if the story does include a funeral – how could I leave it out, considering the photo?)
