Auction

 

Nora peeked out from behind the stage curtain.  “It’s a packed house out there, Lucy.  Wall to wall geek girls and fan boys.”

“Really?”  Lucy took her own peek.  “Oh, we’re going to save the theatre aren’t we?  Thank you, Nora, thank you.”

“Hey, it was your idea to hold this sci-fi charity auction.”

“Yes, but you got the cast of Star Wars to offer themselves for the bachelor auction.”  Lucy turned to Nora.  “How did you do it anyway?”

“Well, that’s kind of complicated.  Just say it involved Harrison Ford and certain photos he’d rather not hit the internet.”  

 

 

 

The Prompt: 

What would you like to write about today?  You tell me. Give me up to 100 words on any topic of your choice, so long as you use the name "Harrison Ford."

Your story may be serious or lighthearted or as silly as you like so long as it is 100 or fewer words.

This was fun...Now, can we see the pictures?
A. F. Stewart Apr 24, 2012, 6:00pm UTC
Alas, Nora had to trade them back to Harrison for the Stars Wars cast. But she has hinted about other photos about a certain Australian...
Sonia M. Apr 24, 2012, 7:20pm UTC
Oh, no! I hope his initials aren't HJ?
