Succinctly Yours - A Microfiction Meme #22


Grandma at Grandma's Goulash provides a picture and a word prompt for this Microfiction Meme and the rules are use the photo as inspiration for a story of 140 characters OR 140 words.


Want more challenge? Use the word of the week in your story. This part is optional.


This week's word is TEPID here's the picture and my offering using the picture and word of the week  in 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.




Amy opened her eyes, relieved to see the tepid sunshine seeping through the tiny window, 

it meant she had survived another day in captivity.

    So sad a tale, but she seems to yet harbor hope, which is a nice positive twist. Great MF.

    You've told a lot in a few words. I'd love to see this one turned into a longer tale.

    You're right. We are on the same page. And I like your use of 'tepid'. Think our girls are in the same house?

    But perhaps she deserved her fate?

    PS I see you've changed your blog template. Very jolly and bright.

    I think there's a definite story behind this Grandma ;)

    Thanks Monica. They could be in the same house, maybe prisoners of a serial abductor?

    Possibly Dumdad. Glad you like my new template. :)

    Whoa! I guess a luke-warm sun would be something to look forward to if you were being held captive...? ... ...*hair raises on arms and back of the neck* I'M GETTING CREEPED. Sorry, I'm outta here! *quietly backs out of blog, then runs!*

    Alright then, so why is she in captivity? Is it a prison for crimes or a prison of abduction?

    Inquiring minds wanna know!!

    I hate to think what it must be like inside.

    Ah that was my plan Mama Zen :)

    If one was incarcerated it might be the only thing to look forward to Sparkle Farkle :)

    I leave it to your imagination Linda ;)

    I guess there is a longer story in there if only I could be bothered to write it storytreasury ;)

    Glad you enjoyed it Pat

    I hope she does too Helen!

    Who knows when or IF she will be rescued Jim? :0

    Thanks Susan x

    Could be Melanie :)

    Hardly the Hilton I would think Cheshire Wife ;)
