Succinctly Yours - On the Fly

Many thanks to at Grandma's Goulash for running the Monday Microfiction Meme. Grandma posts a photo and invites us to write a caption or story in either under 140 characters (tweet-length) or under 140 words. As an extra challenge we are given a word to insinuate into our offering.

Todays word: Expedient

Today's inspiration:


Tom's venture into fly-on-the-wall peeping failed 
to take account of the corresponding 
reduction in brain power.

---o'O'o---

Jane's 1960 copy of  the first spiderman comic
was the most expedient, but how was
Peter going to explain the messy cover?

---o'O'o---

"Pretty Fly!" exclaimed Joyce,
adjusting her pince-nez
"Why, thank you," replied Reggie,
smoothing down his remaining hair.

    Good ones, Dominic! ~~ My favorite is the first one. Actually, 1,2,3, in that order.
    I had to look up an aranea. That was a good choice! Thank you,
