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?

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.
Ha something pigeons aren't by nature - shy
I'm new and over at Always Write
The amount of thieving (food) our pigeons do I'm surprised it wasn't named Shylock.
I grew up around my uncle's racing pigeons.
Nice way to see the pic. I like the pigeon's name; great word choice. Nice MFM.
I hope that he made it home.
A belated Happy Christmas to you!
Nice one! :O)
hope he wins the race! ha ha

I never would've thought of racing pigeons! Good one!
Racing birds, I love it!
What a great story! You say so much in so few words. Now that is talent.
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.
You are soooooooooooo clever!!!!
"Shytalk"
LOVE IT!!!!!!
I laughed so hard at Valerie's comment...
"The amount of thieving (food) our pigeons do I'm surprised it wasn't named Shylock."
HA! I agree, the pigeons here are the same!
Great one as usual, m'dear!
Happy Monday....X
Awwww, what a sweet MM.
shytalk is an excellent handle as a truck driver would say :)
hahaha, shytalk, that's funny. Good one!
I immediately thought "Shylock", and I see I wasn't the first. The pigeons I am used to aren't the shy type!
