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 SERENE here's the picture and my offering using the picture and word of the week in 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
Little boats, bobbing on calm waters,
suggest a serene existence
for the peoples living on the river.
Closer inspection suggests the opposite.

Excellent! Great writing!
I wonder where that pictures was taken?
Far from it, by the look of the picture. I wonder where it is.
Those are some serious fixer-uppers.
Thanks Cloudia x
Cheers Beach. No idea about the pic, Grandma supplies it.
No idea where it is Valerie, though I have seen houses like that on the Chao Phraya river which runs through Bankok.
Definitely SAW! LOL
Highly accurate observation and great interpretation of the photo. Well done.
Ah, there's usually something different below the serenity. Nice one.
It's true that a calm surface can hide a lot of turbulence.
Well done as always m'dear!

Soothing water, though it may be filthy beneath the surface, does lend a certain calmness to a harrowing scene.
Well written.

Glad you liked it Ron x
It certainly is Bee!
Strange that, but it does Pooch!
Love it!! Very well done!
Like it! I think those houses warrant a second and even third look.
You are so right. Closer inspection is always a good idea, even if it disillusions.

So true--from far away, one gets a false impression of serenity. Good use of "serene."
excellent - as ever - and a lovely picture too!
So glad you enjoyed it Melanie :)
Yes, you need to closely at the houses to see just what they're about storytreasury ;)
Closer inspection is always a good idea Kay ;)
