Microfiction Monday #31


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 spa


Here's today's picture and my contribution.



Being new to town, he was surprised when the cab stopped at the cemetery and the driver declared




“Here you are Sir, the dead centre of town!”



140 characters including spaces
