Microfiction Monday #28


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.


Scowling at the photographer.


Pedro wished he’d get on with it.


He knew it was a mistake agreeing to model knitwear for the dratted catalogue.

Maybe he was standing in front of a backdrop so at least he wasn't in the hot sun! Good one....he really does look like he's posing for a picture!

he hates having his photo taken

secret agent woman said...

That's me, too.

SouthLakesMom said...

I swear, I did not read yours before I wrote mine -- we must be two minds with similar thoughts! We even both chose Pedro. This is kind of scary.

libithina said...

Maria@BubblegumandDuctTape said...
