Microfiction Monday #25...


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.




Maybe this was the wrong location for the picnic,



there was a definite ‘country’ smell in the air.



Or maybe it was John’s beer giving him gas.

  4. Yes! There is definitely an aloofness in the air! And it just could be a little too much gas! Very creative!
