Succinctly Yours - A Microfiction Meme #60




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



 Zogg began to wonder if he had made a mistake when making the transition from his normal Martian appearance to this one, to fit in on Earth.

    Shades of Ford Prefect there. (HHGG - apologies if you don't know who I mean.)

    Poor Zogg. Perhaps he can fit castors. At least he'll be able to get around a bit more. :)

    You have a wonderful imagination,Pearl. I thought of 'chairman' but was beaten to it...grins.

    It's so hard for a normal Martian to decide what form to take when coming to Earth, isn't it? Perhaps he should have consulted the expert Martians.
    Good one, Akelamalu. Made me smile.

    What a great imagination. A transition to a LazyBoy might have been more comfortable. :D
