That Familiar Place

Sanya often wondered what lay beyond the bright blue door in her grandfather's home's backyard.

He never answered her queries.
Sanya decided to investigate. 

When she found a fancy looking key and key-chain, she acted as though it was her genie in a lamp.

Source: Dreamstime
The key lead her to a beautiful home that looked very familiar.

Climbing up the steps, she could hear someone working there.
PHOTO PROMPT - Ceayr
It was her grandfather!

Seeing her, he gave a shout of dismay and betrayal.


“I had planned to gift this home to you on your upcoming birthday. I’ve constructed it based on your painting.”

    Spoiled the surprise, but still a wonderful gift.

    I also need to know about the painting now! Nice tie in with all the prompts though, you do that well.

    The surprise came a little earlier than expected it seems!

    My go at Friday Fictioneers!

    I'm disappointed when surprises are exposed, and no, nobody's ever tried to construct something based on a painting of mine.

    Her grandfather loves her so much! She's a lucky person. I wouldn't mind finding out early but it's too bad grandpa couldn't have chosen the time to reveal the big secret.

    The extra pics turned the story into a "picture book" reading experience. Innovative.

    I hate it when someone ruins a surprise. But--I guess I'd have to accept this gift with good grace and hope the grandfather wasn't going to hold it against me :)

    wish the little grand-daughter had not investigated and got the surprise of her life.

    a surprise should be a surprise. no spoilsport.
