Hello there, Rod.
This is a cracking little story. Which Incidently, I voted for.
Just enough tension, nice build-up and a cracking ending.
Takes a while to come up with these shorties and get em right, but you did so magnificently here with your plumber's tale.
Congratulations!
Well deserved
kind regards

Comment from lyenochka
Now that is just plain sneaky to employ the little brother to get a date with the older sister. At least, that's what I understood. Although I heard that it's suggested to grind lemon peels in the disposal to get rid of bad smells. It's good that the ploy worked to get the young plumber back at the house. Great story in so few words! Congratulations on the win!

The plumber was sneaky/shrewd to get access to that drain again. Many thanks, lyenochka, for your kind praise. Rod

This one-hundred-word story, The Plumber's Helper, has the required word count and is a cute story of one man's mission to visit a nice woman.

Nice twist on an old story. Loved the idea of the plumber giving the kid money to stuff the sink. Wish I had thought of that at an earlier age. Good luck in the contest.

The plumber's friend is going to get rich if the plumber doesn't act soon. Or the sister will find this plumber's secret. The kid could turn 'double-agent' is he is smart!
Best of luck in the100 Word Story writing contest.

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
That was a well devised plan that the plumber hatched getting the lad to help him carry it out. His destiny was finally in sight. He would get to be up close and personal with the woman he was hoping to have an encounter with. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written fun hundred-word flash fiction. A plumber needs to se the young lady more, so he gets an apprentice to block the drains so that he can come over more often.
