Black Friday – by Hugh W. Roberts
Amidst the chaos of Black Friday, a different kind of frenzy unfolded at the bustling harbour.
The “Huntress,” a magnificent ship, emerged as the ultimate deal. Legend whispered of hidden bargains aboard, drawing crowds like magnets.
At midday, eager shoppers transformed into intrepid adventurers, storming the gangplank in pursuit of discounts and the allure of maritime mystery.
The ship creaked and groaned, a vessel caught between commerce and legend.
Black Friday bargains blended with the salty sea breeze, creating unforgettable chapters in retail history as the Huntress sailed into what remained of Black Friday, laden with goods and dreams.
Written for the 99-word flash fiction challenge hosted by Charli Mills at the Carrot Ranch.
