Friday Fictioneers ———— Traffic

This week’s Friday Fictioneer’s photo prompt is a bit fishy. Go to Rochelle Wisoff-Fields’ excellent blog to see all the entries and to participate yourself. Why not? It’s fun.

Here is Bumba’s entry, which is even fishier than the picture.

Date 10/30/13: Man killed on 105 freeway. Cause of death: wandered out of lane.
