“Technology does not look out of place, even in a junkyard. But what made you choose this place to work? You have a beautiful house and study.”
“I’m looking for buyers to take the junk. It is easier to click pictures here and upload them. The music keeps me going, and I can attend to office mail too.”
“By the way, you have uploaded your son’s picture on the junk site. It brought me here to see you. Just saying ….”
“Ohhkk! Did you see my dear wife, when you came in through the door, or has she been taken?

Ha!

I do like a touch of black comedy. People clearly have different ideas about what is junk and needs clearing out! Well done, Reena.

Like an awful British comedian once said, take my mother in law; I wish some one would.
Your little tale made me chuckle

I’m sorry – I’m afraid my sense of humour doesn’t extend as far as human trafficking, and the treatment of women as objects to be bought and sold. And no human being is ever junk.

You are right. It could have been an error in uploading the child’s picture and then the joke extended. it is more about absentmindedness than traficking.

haha. Very well written, but I wonder the joke is always on the wife and wives join it too.

Liked the last line. Quite of bit of black humour in it. Just one thing___”she has been taken?” ___ ‘has she been taken?” must have been syntax. Lovely story, nevertheless, Reena.
