Stu stopped to catch his breath, bent, placed his hands on his knees and panted.
There was a car parked a few metres ahead. An old convertible. He walked up to it. His heart sank. Up close, the car looked partly home-assembled. A hand-written sign in it declared that the car would run. Stu wasn’t so sure. Why the need to write the sign? To convince who? Potential buyers?
At the moment, Stu had limited options and little to lose by trying the car. If he could hot-wire it, he would hopefully be better placed to outpace the pursuing hounds.

About Friday Fictioneers
Friday Fictioneers is a group that works as follows:
Every week you get a picture.
Prompted by that picture, you write a piece of fiction that is 100 words long (or as close as you can get).
You add a link to your story on the Fictioneers page, and read the (awesome) stories by the other Friday Fictioneers.
Feel free to join us! Everyone is welcome.
