Microfiction Monday #60 & #14

Another Monday, another microfiction:


Here's my attempt:

Few attend their own funeral and remain above ground. His epitaph was more accurate than anyone around him knew.

It began: 'Here lies...'

Here's the fourteenth picture:


My response:

Looking into the mirror, she recognised the woman on the right as the woman on her right, but she had no idea who the woman on the left was.

    It's quite Stephen King-y, here, in your neck of the woods. A hauntingly good take, Dave!

    Your second story is fab, too! (Methinks those two girlies would do well with sock puppets-- they've certainly got the hand-pose down! LOL!)

    Oh, these are both so clever! In fact, I'd go so far as to say these are superb! I had to read each of them twice before I "got" them. The first one reminded me of Tom Sawer and Huck Finn attending their own funeral in the book "Tom Sawyer."

    Both are quirky, tantalising stories tending to play a few mind games! Very clever!

    Enjoyed both of your MMs this week. And I'd like to read the rest of that epitaph...
    Have a great week ahead. Cheers!

    Both are clever. I had to re-read the first one a couple of times to get it. Loved it. :O)
