Microfiction Monday #26



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.



Pretty Polly’s smile hid a dark secret.




She wasn’t what she appeared to be,


 
as the other guests at the Halloween party were about to discover.

Polly is a sophisticated bag lady and her cat is transgender.

KB said...

She does look a little too good to be true.

Annelisa said...

brrrrr..rrr..rrr...you have my teeth a-chattering! When innocence is a cover for something...horrible, it's way worse than if the horribleness is all showing!!

Hi sweetie, Just so you know...new blog is total disaster. I broke it already! :-( I can't get to my posts, and I'm returning (actually, with relief! :-) ) to my old haunting ground at words that flow...I haven't got the energy to go through the whole moving process again :-S

secret agent woman said...

Ha! That's pretty much what I thought of her when I first saw that picture.

ninotaziz said...

Patti said...

Hmmm...I was going to say looks can be deceiving, but I see you already did!

She is going to do something bad with that broom, I just know it!

Pretty Polly is not too jolly.

Akelamalu said...

You could be right Patti ;)
