Microfiction Monday #48 & #2

Microfiction Monday's mission: to write a response to a picture in 140 characters or less. Here is this week's picture:

And here is my response:

Spot the difference:

There are ten differences between these two girls, can you spot them all and stamp them out?

Answers on a postcard.

And once again here's two for the price of one. Here is the second Microfiction Monday picture:


And here is my response:

Few people could match Madame Mimi's skill at charming the fluffy yet savage boa.

Few people could survive a visit from Madame Mimi either.

A Letter With Character

Letters With Character is a blog featuring letters from real people to fictional ones (and another opportunity I discovered via Ellie Garratt's blog).

I wrote a letter to the eminent traveller, navigator and medical doctor, Lemuel Gulliver.

I have yet to receive a reply.

Microfiction Monday #47 & #1

It's monday again. Susan provides an image and invites responses of 140 characters or less. Here is this week's image:


And here is my response:

He waved.

Unfortunately the sea waved back.

I discovered Microfiction Monday via Ellie Garratt's blog, but came late to the party so I've decided to start at the beginning and try to get caught up.

Here is the picture that accompanied Susan's first ever Microfiction Monday:


And here is my attempt:

As far as getaway cars were concerned, it was more conspicuous than he would've liked.

His heart sank. They were as good as caught.

Microfiction Monday #46

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but Stony River's Susan only wants 140 characters.

Here is this week's picture:


Here is my response:

Staring out of the car's rear windshield, Carl was certain they were the 33 longest miles on the face of the Earth.

Carruthers Camera #7

More photos taken for the Carruthers blog:

Pretty was taken unsurprisingly in a toilet. A gents toilet in Leyton.

Error is a message that appeared on my computer screen two doors down from a gents toilet in Leyton.

Piss is a photo of a sign in Bank station and accordingly found itself in a post about the trainspotting sketch.

Clearance was taken not far from the urine sign, except above ground, obviously.

My advice to anybody taking whimsical photos like this is be careful where you do so. Moral Decline was taken in a Didcot clothes shop and although there were no children about I was regarded with stares of mistrust as if I had just drowned a baby in semen.

Microfiction Monday #45

Another Monday, another microfiction. It's Susan at Stony River's weekly challenge: one image, one response in 140 characters or less.

Here is this week's image:


And here is my response:

In recent years, he had not been pulling his weight. Although now that wouldn't have amounted to much.

He was, very much, the silent partner.
