Succinctly Yours - A Microfiction Meme #8

Grandma at Grandma's Goulash provides a picture and a word prompt for this Microfiction Meme and the rules are use the photo as inspiration for a story of 140 characters OR 140 words.



Want more challenge? Use the word of the week in your story. This part is optional.


This week's word is KINK here's the picture and my offering using both the picture and the word in 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.




My dear Emily, please accept my apologies for the kink in my innards. 


Here the aroma of this flower should alleviate the obnoxious smell.

I'm back off holiday and will be posting about our travels just as soon as I have downloaded the 369 photographs we took, and deciphered the notes I made.

And she's thinking: "Thank goodness he hasn't noticed the one that I let off."

BRAVISSIMO, my friend! What an insane tribute to the word "kink"! Never again will I think of it in the way that I use to. LOL! Thank you for this whacky "Stop and Smell (the Roses)" moment!

Lisa Ricard Claro said...

Hehehe...she does look rather put out, now that I think of it. Very funny, and a great way to begin my Monday morning.

snowelf said...

Lovely to have you and your microfiction back. If I'd been given a rose every time my ex dropped one, the house would have been bursting at the seams with them.

Akelamalu said...

Well done, and welcome home!

I will never think of the word kink in the same again! Well done.

cheshire wife said...

She does not seem sure. I think that he should have offered her a bunch of flowers.

Kay L. Davies said...

Several people seem to have used the word "smell" this week, but at least you've offered a solution. LOL
I know how you feel about having to organize the holiday photos. My husband took 950 one day in the Swiss Alps, through the window of a train, and left them to me to edit.

I have a feeling that even a dozen roses will not restore the romance to this evening. Love where you took this one!

My SY: Shouldn't Have Asked

Akelamalu said...

You're right Grandma it will take more than a dozen roses. :)
