(*Note: I realized my wording was kind of misleading here. I've written microfiction before, but just not on Diane's blog. It was on Stony River's Microfiction Mondays, and those have been discontinued for quite some time. So, I was so happy to discover Diane's!)
Microfiction means the shortest of short stories. Think Aesop’s fables, comic strips, or even jokes: complete stories that can be told in under a minute.
You are invited to write a story about a select picture in 140 characters or less (including spaces and punctuation).
It is hosted by Diane Estrella. Please stop by her blog if you'd like to participate, too.
Here is my take on the photo:
"You are getting sleepy. Very, very sleepy. You will obey my every command. Got that, mister?"
(95 characters)
** Also welcome to my newest follower: Marsha. I hope you'll stop by often and always enjoy what you read and see! Thank you!

Love this one and thanks for joining the MicroFiction Muse. She does look pretty intense there!!! :O)
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Becky! I might have to try this one!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, thanks! I LOVE microfiction photo prompts. I'll definitely be back!
ReplyDeleteHey June! Yes, you gotta do this. You'll be awesome, just like always!
It's an interesting photo Diane chose. I guess the girl is in a wheelchair? It certainly opens the door to lots of possible stories...
ReplyDeleteI love your vibrant blog, Becky! That's a very intense photo. There are all kinds of ways to get one's creative juice flowing. I like this.

Hi Sioux! Hmmm, I didn't notice a wheelchair. You must have better eyes than I do!
ReplyDeleteHi Ann! Thank you! And congrats again on the wonderful reviews of your book!
HA! Cute! I like your interpretation, Becky! :)
ReplyDeleteMy son says that is exactly something his sister would say to him :0) Love it!
ReplyDeleteCute micro-fiction, Becky!

For a beginner, you knocked it out of the park! I'm glad you joined and hope you'll keep coming back. This is such a fun meme.
ReplyDeleteHey Daisy ~ Thanks! It was fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne! That's funny! And yeah, I can see that happening in real life...Guess that's why I thought of it!
Hi K-9! Thanks!!
Hi 5th Sister! (love that name, by the way!) I guess my wording was kind of misleading. This wasn't my first microfiction, just the first one of Diane's. But thanks for the kind words, and I DO hope to continue!
ooooooo, that was a tough one, Rebecca. But you did it. Want to thank you for visiting my blog and commenting, too. Susan

ReplyDeleteI didn't submit to the MicroFiction, but I did enjoy the micro stories submitted by others. The photo is perfect for YA fiction writers. Great job, Becky!

ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of the MicroFiction Muse before, how fun! I seem to always learn of some fun new thing when I visit here. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the photo, great job!
Great microfiction! That picture is awesome, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie and Lisa!! Thanks! And Lisa, I seem to be able to write these microfiction stories, easier than your book blurbs! :( Sorry!
ReplyDeleteThat was a eye opening story, Becky. Chuckle! Really cute!
ReplyDeleteTY for you sweet wishes for the little church down our road. The congregation I am sure will rebuild. All that is left is the frame.
Have a wonderful week.
TTFN ~
