"Hey, Jane!" said Perry. "Just closed on my new house!"
"That's great, Perry!" said Jane. "Can't wait to see it!"
"You'll really be impressed with me when you do," smirked Perry, ever so modestly. "It's beautiful, in a great location, and I got a terrific deal!"
"Well," cooed Jane. "How about you take little ol' me to see it right now?"
"Thought you'd never ask. Y' know, I haven't seen it myself since a week or two."
"Didn't you have a walk-through right before settlement?"
"Nah, Janie, no need for that."
"Really?"
"Yeah, trust me on this! That's about as unnecessary and worthless as that stupid insurance they tried to sell me!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk about a great location!
Five bedrooms, three and a half baths, sumptuous living room, dining room, and kitchen, and only eight of the rooms are presently located under ground in a subterranean well.
I hope the other members of the Friday Fictioneers are making out a bit better this week. I wonder which one of them Jane is dating these days ....

Sometimes I have this sinking feeling that it was not the best of deals...
Dear Perry,
Perhaps a little more foresight and a little less foreplay. N'es pas?
Shalom,
Rochelle
It was the best of deals, it was the worst of deals .... yup, the worst of deals! Thanks for your great picture.
I think this is most likely a bit before the foreplay. Meurde!
Twenty-five years of selling real estate makes me believe that one way or the other, the Realtor is going to get blamed! Fun story, Perry.
Settlement is the right word for what's taken place. :)
I hope so. And I hope he isn't dating Jane now! Thanks for your nice comment.
Yep, I got more of a settlement than I bargained for! Thanks, Sandra.
I'd get the insurance before buying it!
I won't even tell you how very very close that is to me...actually was!
Perry,
I have a two-story outhouse you might be interested in. It has a nice view from the upstairs balcony, and the lower level is just like new--only used once. What do you say, Buddy. A deal like this doesn't come around often. It's sure to impress Jane.
You're right, Elizabeth. That character in my story is just too damn naive!
Oh, please tell me, Hamish!
I already lost Jane. I heard she was headed for the Ozarks for a much funnier and much sexier humor writer!
I already have a lovely outhouse. I call it my house.
Be careful. Next, some Fictioneer will try to sell you a bridge.
Well, ha. I already bought two on sale. BOGO.
I'll swap you a bridge for the house.
At least with my bridge, I can get to your house.
And besides, I like underground grottoes..
I always say (unlike Rochelle): More foreplay, less foresight..
Foresight is overrated as far I can see (yes, that was intended although I didn’t see it coming).
Onwards and downwards.

We were on a similar track on this one, Perry. ;)

Perry, The first comment sunk or something, so here's another one. I just hope the water doesn't also pour from above like a house we bought one time. Don't ever buy a house when the roof is part pitched and part flat. We had insurance, but they dropped us after that. Funny as always. :D ---Susan
Geeze Perry, has Jane got no backbone ? I am sure she could have adapted to living in a dump..I mean a fixer upper..and you thought she loved you..double merde
OOPS! Poor Perry. Maybe he'll learn a lesson from this? Although it will be hard won.
You have to be born with strong legs to farm that kind of land.
Thanks, Randy, great comment! I should put as much creativity in my posts as you do in your comments. Somebody will try to sell me a bridge? I already got one from my pal Governor Christie. I'm dying to close it down again! And, yes, there should have been a bit more foreplay than there was, which was frankly zero. There was nothing for you to see coming, I'm afraid. Thanks again!
Yes, Lynda, looks like both of us are pixilated when it comes to real estate, though me a good bit more than you! Thanks for writing.
I have a sinking feeling about your first comment too, Susan. I will take your advice to heart about the pitched and flat roof after I learn about not buying a house without a roof. Thanks for writing, Susan!
Well, I thought I could con her into loving with my vast knowledge of real estate, palatial home, and debonair charm. Well, my vast knowledge of real estate and palatial home anyway. Looks like I'm 0 for 3!
I dunno, Alicia. It takes him a while to learn lessons. He's still trying to figure out how to keep his lunch from being stolen in seventh grade.
My legs aren't even strong enough to support me while I call a guy to hire him to farm that kind of land!
I have an extra boat.. will you like to buy it.. from the location of your new house, its very clear that you might need it soon! :D
... and you might use it to go to Ozarks !
Those realtors are sneaky little buggers who have been taking the Friday Fictioneers for quite a ride this week. Hope you learned your lesson, Perry.
Cheers!
Marie Gail
Someone made a couple of poor decisions by the look of it. Oh dear.
Dear Perry, Location times three is the only thing that really counts - everything else can be remedied! Love your story - and who needs insurance? Love your story, funny and hope he gets wise before it falls down the ravine! Great job! Nan :)
Oh, poor Jane. Run Jane, run! Something tells me they're going to have plumbing problems. All sorts.
You're feeling story for Jane who dumped me! Now I know who my friends are, Amy.
Thanks, Nan. Sure, who needs insurance when you have a location a mile and a half below sea level? So you need Jacques Cousteau to get you in and out of your house, all the more picturesque!
Yes, it was me, Patrick. And don't call me "dear!"
I might use it to get to my bathroom! Thanks for your comment.
I'm slow to learn lessons, Marie, but from now on I will never buy the Little Tykes Play House without a full inspection.
I took a count ... the story won by a landslide. Just don't settle for second best.
I'm glad the story won by the same landslide that buried me and my house!
Oh come on! You don't look that old!
Insurance? Just got an email from an agent in Nigeria who may get you a great deal. Fun story as always. Is it really fictional?
I think this poor house has gotten a bum rap! It's a real gem! But, maybe insurance is pointless. ;-)
The being dumped by women part, no. The rest of it, yes. That's funny about your agent in Nigeria, I got a guy who's about to send me 15 million dollars who's from Nigeria too!
If you like a sunken tub, along with the rest of the house, this is the place for you!
Obviously this Jane chick was materialistic. You're better off without her!
That was cute. That Perry, what a sucker! Love the concept. well done, Lucy
You're right! Sitting home alone in my sunken house with no money is much more fun than cavorting with Jane. I feel so much better!
Thank you, Lucy. Yes, sucking is my best quality!
