Microfiction Monday #34


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.


Hi, you new to these parts?


 
Yeah, I just dropped in on my way home from the south coast. I’m a racing pigeon.


 
How exciting, what’s your racing name?


 
Shytalk, what’s yours?

  1. Great story. Some think I'm crazy but I actually like pigeons. Sitting with my daughter in the park one time and I noticed the pigeons were looking at all the people like we do animals in a zoo.

  3. The amount of thieving (food) our pigeons do I'm surprised it wasn't named Shylock.

  10. He doesn't seem that shy at all. Can he afford to stop and take a rest if he is racing. Wishing you a wonderful 2011.

  13. I immediately thought "Shylock", and I see I wasn't the first. The pigeons I am used to aren't the shy type!
