Microfiction Monday

Below is my first attempt at telling a story in 140 characters or less based on a photo prompt. Courtesy of Susan at http://www.stonyriver.ie/.

Repeatedly she nagged, "Fix the roof!"
Many Sundays passed and that became
the least of her worries.

    I like it! A lot happens in just a few words (and Sundays.)

    Seriously, this could be the story of my life. Here's hoping my husband drops in to read your today's MF take.

    That was great first attempt. It's left me wondering why fixing a roof was the least of her worries!

    Oh Rick this was great...
    I like doing it because having to use only 140 character (letters,spaces,punctuation) forces you to edit..to distill
    which you are a master at!

    Wonderful first 140, it is amazing how you can tell a story in so few characters. One wonders what became her new worries...
