Coolville does sound like a jumble of buildings. Nice Mircofiction!
What an intriguing take on the pic of the day, Gemma! I love it and it could indeed be the beginning of a longer tale! Have a great week!

I like this, Gemma! Very original!
Love is in the air me thinks :) I can see why he would give heave ho to Coolville. Well done. Have a great week ahead :)
This sounds like the opening line to a great novel.
This one begs for more!
hmmmm tiny hannah... wonder who she might be?
OH, I want to know more. This raises so many questions in my mind. He sounds like a distant buy loving father. good one.
I love stories which leave me wanting to know what happened afterwards.
My MM is here.
Reel us in, Gemma. We are hooked.
Is Tiny Hannah his daughter, perhaps, that he only gets to see once a year? Or is she a tiny lover, maybe...hmmm. Intriguing...enjoyed your take on the picture. Cheers!
Aww -- lucky lucky Hannah!
