Anyone ready for the weekend? Oh yeah, me too!!! :). As host of your weekend challenge, I've rounded up three sets of prompts. Just comment with 'TGIF,' or 'Woo hoo!' or any other thing Friday inspires in you. In return, I'll send you:
1- An image of a random place - either a locale or a more generic (but hopefully interesting) space.
2- An AU career for your fictional darlings. Am thinking of this one as a drabble challenge- give us 100-200 or so words of them living very different lives.
3- Overheard: A short snippet of conversation overheard on the street that caught my ear.
All righty- who's in?

AU Career: Bartender
Overheard: "Do you want to go down horse crap lane, or cross the street?"
- background: this was a couple about to walk up Central Park South, where all the carriage horses sit waiting to trot visitors around the park and, unfortunately, some city streets. Let's just say... it's always an aromatic street, lol. But the horses are cute and all decked out.

Oooh, how pretty- a Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast. Now I want to write a B&B AU, lol. And maybe bacon and eggs.....
That b&b is gorgeous! I might have to use that later. :D Also, while thinking about this challenge, I saw the post for the September Twist and used this prompt for that challenge. So, thank you!
Hey Bartender
Timing is everything! :). Hope you find something inspiring.

Person 1: "I want to kill myself, now..."
Person 2: "Why, what happened?"
