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.
Here's today's picture and my contribution.
The artist was proud of his sketch for the next edition of Samurai Heroes.
He was deflated when the editor complained that a parasol wasn’t a proper weapon for a Samurai.

Editors can be such spoil sports :-)
"He was deflated when the editor complained that a parasol wasn’t a proper weapon for a Samurai."
Bwhahahahahahahahaha!
Brilliantly clever as usual, m'dear!

What do editors know anyway.
I loved it!
Editors suck.
...complained that a parasol wasn’t a proper weapon for a Samurai.
I don't know, thinking off the top of my head add a force field extending from the parasol and it might come in handy.
All of theses comments are priceless. I can't top that.
Great post as usual.
That editor has no imagination or insight! I understand that a well trained samurai can successfully use just about anything as a weapon!
Great Short description that tells a wonderful story
Loved the last line. LOL What do editors know anyway?
He was obviously court short and he improvised!
I love the idea of micro fiction!!
That is so cool and your lil stories are great!!! I see you're still doing Flash Fiction! Good for you and good seeing you again!
Peace
lol this was funny. You be sirprised what and umbrella can do lol
Well, his editor does have a point doesn't he? Good one!
Anybody can do a couple of swords. It takes real panache to pull off the parasol.
Editors can be so picky!
yeh what fun are editors
oops - I'm fun and I'm one ...
Have a great week sweetie
Ha!
Great Minds think alike....
It never pays an artist to get smug about his work...
He should submit it to the Harvard Review; they'll like it.
Thanks Sylvia and the same to you. x
