Bart looked left and right at the majestic Atlantic Ocean, the blue skies and hot sandy beaches. It was 90 degrees. He told the real estate agent, “I suppose if the global economy heats up so much that the ice caps melted then all of these high-rise condos would turn into part of the Everglades.”
“I’ve been waiting for it to happen for over two decades.”
“This place could sink into the ocean. I wonder who’d want to live here then?”
“I’m sure the alligators wouldn’t mind.”
Bart agreed with the agent: Better buy while the ground’s still dry.
Linked to Carrot Ranch. The theme this week for the 99-word stories is “without ice”.

I don’t think I’d be buying if only the alligators would want to live there in the future – not much resale value.

Or maybe buy off the beach a few hundred yards, just to be safe.

What a connection to make in your flash — a hot global economy and melting ice caps. And still, the day is pressed for what can be bought and sold. Well done, Frank.
