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.
Pretty Polly’s smile hid a dark secret.
She wasn’t what she appeared to be,
as the other guests at the Halloween party were about to discover.
Oooooh-er. That's scary ... she looks so innocent.

ReplyDeletePolly is a sophisticated bag lady and her cat is transgender.
ReplyDeleteShe does look a little too good to be true.
ReplyDeletebrrrrr..rrr..rrr...you have my teeth a-chattering! When innocence is a cover for something...horrible, it's way worse than if the horribleness is all showing!!
ReplyDeleteHi sweetie, Just so you know...new blog is total disaster. I broke it already! :-( I can't get to my posts, and I'm returning (actually, with relief! :-) ) to my old haunting ground at words that flow...I haven't got the energy to go through the whole moving process again :-S
Ha! That's pretty much what I thought of her when I first saw that picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cliffhanger!
ReplyDeleteOh I may have to join in on these memes. Nice complete story for the readers if not the party guests.
ReplyDeleteaakelamalu: See that's what everyone always said...you have to watch out for the innocent looking ones.
ReplyDeleteno wonder no one trusted me...and with good cause.
