Welcome to another round of Microfiction Monday courtesy of Susan at Stony River. Each week Susan posts a new picture and invites us to write a story in 140 characters or less.

Today's picture:



Three young men up to no good ....

"Hold on - is that lipstick on your shirt?" Dammit, Think quickly. "Of course dearest. I put it there, over my heart, to remind me of you."

Samuel was lost in thought. What had he forgotten? He'd packed the picnic. He'd brought the drink. What was it? Oh, of course! His fiance!

"Mr Quincy says I have well rounded characters." said Fanny.
"Yes, they're very impressive," said William, dreamily.

Dear Author ...

Elena over at You're Write. Except when you're Rong

has a fun "fill in the form rejection letter" post.

Here is mine filled in blanks in red, of course!):

Dear Author,

I am writing in response to your message in a bottle. While I'm pleased that there a tiny dribble of scotch left in the bottom, I really don't think a one word story has the necessary marketing potential or that "help" is very original.

This is a subjective business, you know, and it's really important to be subjective. Perhaps "Help me"?

While this may seem like a huge favor - teaching you how to write and doubling your word count, please remember I'll get half the royalties after commission.

Oh, and please make sure there's more scotch left in the bottle next time. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Agent.

Just remember that the old ones are the best!

Two thirty? Time to see the dentisty.

"Mummy, what are those numbers?"
"They're hours, dear."
"Oh! When do we get them back?"

The clockmaker was commissioned to produce a highly ornate clock, but he couldn't face it!

Here is this Monday's picture

Juan-Carlos was having second thoughts about the new fold-a-mule ^TM he'd stowed under his poncho. He was beginning to feel a bit of an ass.

Happy Monday to you all!
