Here is my (not a) story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week's photo was contributed by Roger Bultot.

Inspiration did not strike this week 😦

A street. A perfectly ordinary street. Somewhere foreign – those numberplates are far too small to be UK.

Pretty much nothing is happening. A story about nothing happening? Tricky, that.

There's an air con unit top left. Could be an alien spider robot. But to what end? Haven't we done that before?

Maybe that skyscraper in the distance. Maybe it has a viewing platform. And every so often that big spike shoots up and impales a tourist. That could work.

"Hey Mike, take a selfie…"
WHOOMP! Aaaargh!
"Oh, hell. Mike."

I don't think it has legs.

I'll try again next week.
