Microfiction Monday #13


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.






Daniel was worried about his girlfriend.



Since the bang on the head she was seeing stars



but even worse, kept going on about wanting a baby!

    Oh poor Daniel. Let's hope she gets over the concussion before she has FIVE babies!

    I admire how you manage this - I thought flash fiction was hard, but this is something else altogether...

    I named the last baby I miscarried "Meteor" because it's life was as fleeting as a shooting star - this illustration reminds me of that.

  29. Susan at Stony River28 July 2010 at 01:36

    Well, if he didn't want those little stars, he shouldn't have hit her so hard!

    I hope it clears up for them both soon LOL

    Cheers G-man x

    Well that could have happened Linda ;)

    I'm so sorry for your loss SAW. What a lovely way to remember your baby - as a shooting star. x

    I don't think he hit her Susan but he's certainly regretting her getting a bang on the head! LOL

    Thanks Mama Zen :)
