Bibendum
„Take that, fiend! “ Dandelion brandishes his sword and slashes at the shape in front of him until it crumples into a heap of rubber and metal.
„You need to look before you strike, Dan. Mab will be furious if she hears about it.“ Thistle says.
„But I thought it was a troll. I wanted to protect the human realm…“
„It was a Michelin Man. Just some tires wired together. Totally harmless.“
„Drat! Can‘t we put it back together? There’s even a picture, look.“
„We? Nah. Not worth the effort.“
„But Mab…“
„I won’t tell her if you don’t.“
„Deal.“
(100 words)
I didn’t think I could make it this week, my mind went blank when I looked at the picture.
Write already! 
First off, you chose an outstanding photo for your header. Wowzers!
As for your story, too funny… Poor Michelin Man!

Thank you Dale. I wish I could take pictures like that, but I’m a rather mediocre to poor photographer. I lack ‘the eye’. Pixabay is a treasure chest of great free pictures though with some outstanding photographers.
And poor little rubber man indeed. 🙂

I wish I had that particular scenery within my vicinity to capture! I do manage with what I have, though 🙂
Poor guy…

I liked the fact that Michelin Man, I am sure he’ll bounce back.
Yep, great header picture, you made me realise my site is a bit dated and needs an upgrade.

Dear Gabi,
I guess you could say they re-tired the Michelin Man. 😉 I’m suffering a bit of tabula raza myself these days. Still a worthy story.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Thank you Rochelle. I don’t want to let me be overwhelmed by life stuff again and stop participating. Once I take a break, it’s difficult to get back into it, and FF is too enjoyable to let it go.

Lovely take on the prompt! The dialogue works well. The poster ‘Nunc est bibendum’ is rather fun, too. Interesting concept – the tire ‘drinking’ up the bumps in the road.

Thank you Penny. I found it interesting, too. I must have seen the Michelin man a million times but never thought about it. The Wikipedia article is very interesting.
