Microfiction Monday #53 & #7

It's Microfiction Monday again. Here's the picture:


And here's my attempt:

"Which will dry first, your cement or my tears?" She asked.

The man had no answer to give.

- - - - -

And here's the seventh, the picture:


My response:

For hours and hours it had always been over the next hill. Until now.

They had arrived.



P.S. This is this blog's two-hundredth post.

    Very sad. I'm sure it wasn't the bricklayer's idea to do this to her.

    Too sad. . . perhaps if she cries directly onto the cement, it will slow the process and she can escape.

    Your story is very sad, Dave. I can only hope that the lady dried her tears and used the shovel to break through the mortar before it hardened!

    Have a great week. Cheers!
