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.
Scowling at the photographer.
Pedro wished he’d get on with it.
He knew it was a mistake agreeing to model knitwear for the dratted catalogue.
Poor Pedro...is that his friend waiting for him in the background?
ReplyDeleteLOL. That is some knitwear!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant take on the picture! Great entry.
ReplyDeleteYikes - a photoshoot in the desert! Pedro must really need the money. LOL Good job!
ReplyDeleteIn all that heat too! He's suffering for someone elses' art!
ReplyDeletePoor Pedro! I hope they compensate him well for his time and frustration!
ReplyDeletePedro can sacrifice this once. He still looks good.
ReplyDeleteI hope Pedro can tolerate the heat in that outfit.
ReplyDeletePoor ole Pedro - but I bet he took the money.
ReplyDeleteA model's life can be so hard!
ReplyDeleteI think it is Grandpa :)

Maybe he was standing in front of a backdrop so at least he wasn't in the hot sun! Good one....he really does look like he's posing for a picture!

ReplyDeleteI swear, I did not read yours before I wrote mine -- we must be two minds with similar thoughts! We even both chose Pedro. This is kind of scary.
