Another Weekend Writing Prompt has appeared in my Inbox and I’ll quickly post my response before heading off to cook at the senior’s residence today. And here it is:

Over the Barrel
“I see they don’t have that old barrel-of-water game anymore,” Sam commented as they strolled the fair. “You’d buy three throws; if you hit the bull’s-eye, you dunked a guy. Loads of fun.”
Maressa frowned. “Sounds chilly.”
“Nah. And he got paid.”
“Maybe you could earn some dough being the guy sitting over the barrel? Think how much fun all our friends would have dunking you.”
“Well… Hmm… Never knew what people saw in that game anyway.”
At our annual potato festival, the dunk tank is mashed potatoes. But, I have to say, they’re pretty watery…

Fun take, Christine.

I guess that’s why fairs are in the Summer months Who wants to be on a roller coaster all bundled up for 0 C, never mind getting dunked — even if the water would be heated. 🙂 Thanks for your comment.

Fun depending on who gets dunked by whom. Well done.
