Microfiction Monday



Susan at Stony River Farm hosts Microfiction Monday. She posts a picture and you compose a story in 140 characters. You can click on her name to get further instructions. To help you along she has posted a wonderful link that counts your characters for you! How great is that! You can get the counter at Design 215.

Here's this week's picture, followed by my story to go with it:



Leaning over the side of the boat, she stared at her reflection in the still water.
Who was she? Did it matter? But there was only silence.

Nicely done, one of the best ones yet. I think we all have these days.

Snared the downhearted feeling perfectly - looking in the mirror and hoping there's someone staring back. A very nice take on the picture!

Susan at Stony River said...

Oh how lovely. You make me want to know her whole story, with just one little glimpse.
Wow.

thanks Sylvia!

Really very good, Sylvia.
I discover now through your nice post "Microfiction Monday". The characters count is so useful and funny!
Happy new week!

Nice capture. I can't guess but I can sing the song, row, row, row your boast. Love your new layout of your blog.

intriguing and melancholy and oh so well written.

Ooh, I like the self reflection...no pun intended.

That's what's fun about this: one picture, 20 different angles. I look forward to next week's!

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
