Microfiction Monday #41


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 spaces and punctuation.
Here's today's picture and my contribution.




Sophie, my darling, as much as I’d like to stay I really must go back with Edward,


he’s feeling a total gooseberry over there all on his own.

    You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time...

    Well done.
