Microfiction Monday #32


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.



A satisfied smirk played on Mary’s lips.



“This’ll teach him not to cheat on me” she fumed



as she rubbed his toupee up and down the washboard.

    I love it! LOL! She is as maliciously pasive-aggressive as the lovely wifey in my story.
