Microfiction Monday # 3


Susan at Stony River hosts this fun theme each Monday, so do pop over and read the others who have signed Mr. Linky. The rules are thus:


Every Monday Susan will post a picture for the subject of your story. Microfiction means the shortest of short stories. Think Aesop's fables, comic strips, or even jokes: complete stories that can be told in under a minute. For this game, the limit is a tweetable 140 characters or fewer, including punctuation and spaces.


Here's today's picture and my contribution.




Alice‘s preserves were popular but held a secret, which no-one would guess.




She bought them, then transferred the contents to her own jars.

Let's Hope Alice doesnt' get caught.

I have to admire Alice.

hope said...

I think I've met that woman. :)

Sadly if I decide to can, I still do it the old fashion way. Have a good week!

Julia Phillips Smith said...

Actually, Akelamalu, no one would ever believe I had cooked anything. I shamelessly heat up other people's cooking and call it dinner. But I gratefully acknowledge the efforts of the initial cooks.

Well as long as you're honest about it Julia, that's the most important thing. ;)

Spiky Zora Jones said...

Akelamalu: ha...I think I've seen this little secret used more than once. Like when someone brings a pie and says they are home made...the trick is to warn the pie up a little...er, not that I've ever done this. hehehe

a good one honey.
