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 EXPEDIENT here's the picture and my offering using both the picture and the word in 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
Melanie watched carefully as she formulated her plan.
The rolled up newspaper would be expedient in dispatching the fly, if her aim was true.

Good 140 characters.
No flies on me!
The fly usually gets the best of me. The little buggers here in Georgia are adept at avoiding all manner of would-be swatters. LOL
OMG! I'd hate to be a fly on your sill!!! Very good, pal...very good!!!
Sandi
I'm sure she did Snow!
I've got quite a good aim AJ ;)
Nor me Scots Lass LOL
You'll have to get more practice in Lisa LOL
Glad you enjoyed it Sandi x
sam (the fly) thought to himself, if she doesn't put that danged newspaper away i'll expediently fly away!
smiles, bee
xoxoxoxoxox
Read all about it! Fly murdered by newspaper woman.
Yeah, I've hard about these fly killers, or do they call them swatters? Whatever we, erm they're a vicious lot.
"The rolled up newspaper would be expedient in dispatching the fly, if her aim was true."

Happy Monday to you!

That was his last thought Bee! LOL
LOL I can tell you're a journalist Dumdad!
Indeed Valerie ;)
Aw thanks Ron x
I try not to Denise ;)
now, you see the best way is to clap just above the fly - they get confused by being approached from both sides at once and fly away too late. Just wear gloves!
;P
Good to see you :)
Excellent one Akelamalu!
If Melanie has good aim, send her to my house!
Great picture Ak. Expedient is an unusual word too....
I didn't know that Dominic, I'm gonna try it thanks.
Thanks Elainex
I will, when she's finished here Mama Zen LOL
I don't choose the pics or the words Flowerpot, that's down to Grandma but I agree they are good and unusual.
Clever .. and I hope her aim was good ... flys are such an annoyance
Had a cookout yesterday and my house is full of flies, the kids kept running in and out leaving the backdoor open. I'll be smacking bugs all day.
Great story!
I always miss the first, the second, and sometimes the third times-LOL!
Good use of the word of the week and rolled up newspaper :)
Oh yes indeed they are Daryl!
Good luck with the bug smacking Beach ;)
They're definitely hard to pin down Susan LOL Thanks x
