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 the icon 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.

This meme is easy and it's fun! Thanks, Susan for hosting.

And here's the picture for the day!



Since she had been taken aboard the ship by her stepfather, the lovely
mermaids had been her only company. Soon she'd join them, swim away.

Very well done my friend. Very deep and touching I think. This could have such a good continuation. Well done my friend. :) A side of you that I like very well. Well I like all sides actually :) Have a great week ahead :)

Perhaps after swimming with the fishes, she'll change her tune?

I can imagine many wanting to do that. Nicely done.

So sad, but perhaps she will find true happiness with her mermaid friends.

Hi Sylvia

Buona giornata.

Aww, that's rather sad.

She'll be happier with the mermaids.

Such Victorian melancholy. Really suits the illustration!

Evil stepfathers, sounds like a seafaring twist on Cinderella! :)

I had total brain freeze on this one. Love your story, though!

Great take on this week's pic. Made me a bit sad though. Poor girl.
Thanks for sharing.

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.
