Succinctly Yours - Positively Glistening!

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: Glisten

Today's inspiration:


She knew ladies were only meant to glow, 
but Hilda had broken out into a cold glisten as 
Mike the Moped Maniac sped towards her

---o'O'o---

Hilda's pet rattlesnake was as good as gold as she
carried him around in a shopping bag.
The bag snatcher was in for a bit of shock though.

    LOL Both are awesome. The first was my fave, with Mike the Moped Maniac, until I read the second. Too funny!

    That second one is a real hoot, Dom. I can just imagine the snatcher's face when he opens the bag! What fun!

    These are both great, Dominic! I did my post on purse snatching too, but I like your feisty granny better...:)

    Bravo! I loved them both, but the bag snatcher really made my day. That's justice!
