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 link under the title 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 while it's hard to believe, this is post number 1505!!!


And here's the picture for the day!

 
This was more than a bit part in a cheap movie. He just hoped he could
pull it off. If Carlos found out where he was, he was a dead man. 

And here is what my friend in India wrote!
I know he said "change has happened", but I never thought I'd lose my shirt like this. I think I'll move from Arizona to Washington DC. 
Don't you love it?

    Ooh, Sylvia! You've written a thriller. Here's hoping our hero can pull off the role!

    Have a great week.

    Don't tell me he's trying out for the lead in Aladdin, because if he is, he's on the wrong side of the carpet!

    Good one, Sylvia!

    I love mysteries too. What will Carlos do when he finds out. I love reading your stories every week. You have a great way of switching it up. Have a great week my friend!

    Your hero is too good for those bit parts anyway! I do hope along with him that he can pull it off.
    In fact, I will pull for him! I definitely am not a fan of Carlos'.
    ..
    I love your stories. I love your comments too. Thank you for yours tonight. It was funnier than my story!!!!!

    he could have found somewhere better than the desert and a few cacti to hide behind ~ let's hope that poncho blends in with the sand ~ else he'll have to pull down his sombrero lower over his face :) ~
    had great fun with this
    have a great week
