Finagle – (Six Sentence Story #130)
It wasn’t that Dad’s handwritten will had no date; it did … Friday February 2011. Hells bells and various other words to that effect.
It had been witnessed by Dad’s next door neighbours, Ken and Iris who had owned a little boutique in Bond Street. They still lived next door, and would have been on one of their many cruises, but this year, were languishing in a Cornish country estate instead.
After much musing, the temptation to finagle had diminished and we agreed to send the will to the probate court to see what transpired. We made a cup of tea, and together mulled what other little surprises, we might find in Dad’s aged and diminished handwriting.
Post inspired by Denise’s Six Sentence Story Challenge #130 Boutique. If you, too would like to join in please click on the link.

PS – I was challenged by fellow six sentence story writers to pen a series. This is part 3. For part 2 – click here Field. For part 1 – click here Resistance!
PPS – Also managed to weave in Fandango’s FOWC – Finagle. If you, too would like to join in please click on the link.

Incorporating so many challenges into one – wowza!!

I like how you left us anticipating at the end what else might be in that will.

Nice combination of two writing prompts.
I like the idea of mulling together over a cup of tea. Nice combo.
I haven’t heard the expression “Hells bells” in what seems like almost a life time.
I’ll be back to find out where this continuing SSS goes.

Indeed! It sounds as if perhaps they didn’t know Dad as well as they thought. More surprises in store??

Dad’s keeping ’em on their toes. And, ah, “Hell’s Bells” … a glorious thing to say in certain moments, and a pretty cool old AC/DC tune too 🙂

Hells bells – going to have to look that one up in case I need to change my Song Lyric Sunday post ( … not!) 🤣 … and I too have wondered if it is Dad playing the game!
