Microfiction Monday #13


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.






Daniel was worried about his girlfriend.



Since the bang on the head she was seeing stars



but even worse, kept going on about wanting a baby!

Mama Badger said...

He'd better bonk her on the head again to see if it clears up!

John (@bookdreamer) said...

Hit his own head and he may see babies and want stars! I've gone for science for today's 140

Aw thanks Ron you're a doll. x

Why thankyou so much swputh, how kind you are. :)

I'm so pleased you liked it Ellie

He's probably already thought of that solution Mama Badger LOL

I wonder if he's thought of that solution John? :0

Daniel's probably hoping just that sylviamorice!

I think he will be doing just that Pat! ;)

I'm happy to make you smile Hope x

I wonder why Quilly? ;)

Cheers Jingle :)

A bang on the head can cause all sorts of problems Maggie and not just for the recipient! ;)

Great Job Ake...

Linda said...

And hear I thought that you were going to say that she had been seeing stars while sitting outside naked!

secret agent woman said...

I named the last baby I miscarried "Meteor" because it's life was as fleeting as a shooting star - this illustration reminds me of that.

Susan at Stony River said...

Well, if he didn't want those little stars, he shouldn't have hit her so hard!

I hope it clears up for them both soon LOL

Maude Lynn said...

What a hilarious take on the picture!

Akelamalu said...

Cheers G-man x

Well that could have happened Linda ;)

I'm so sorry for your loss SAW. What a lovely way to remember your baby - as a shooting star. x

I don't think he hit her Susan but he's certainly regretting her getting a bang on the head! LOL

Thanks Mama Zen :)

Either you want them or you don't...there's no middle ground on this one.
