My entry for the 11th Triond writing challenge.

Have you ever walked into a place that you have been excited about for a while, and was met with a horrible stench? Well I, unfortunately was. Every couple of years, my family goes to Scotland. Well they have this great store there. It’s really just toys but they always have this section that never fails to surprise me. One year they had a great Guitar display, and the next they had this one all about video games. I don’t know what it is about that shop, it just seems like a great place to be. By the way, it’s in a different town then the town we stay in, so we only go there once. Well, I was getting all excited, but when we got there, the whole street was stinking of bad smells. They were the worst as we got to the store. Someone had dumped about three boxes of stink bombs on the counter! The shop was closed until it got better. Bad smells can be a huge disappointment.

his is not a true story, it is completely fictional. (Although my family does go to Scotland nearly every year.)

    We sometimes let a stink bomb go off in the classroom in school, the result was that we had to stay inside with the windows closed and the teacher left the room.

    Ha Ha! A kid in my class let off two and she though it was sewer gas coming through the sink! The whole class was gone!

    I got disappointed just hearing about your disappointment. Nice entry for the challenge dude.

    What – fictional. I demand you go to that store next year and make it a real one. If you don’t I will suffer great disappointment from the lack of authentic bad smells :-) Good fun. Thanks for playing dude!
