Microfiction Monday

Susan at Stony River challenges bloggers every Monday with a linky party called,  Microfiction Monday.
She posts a picture and in 140 characters or less, you are to write a story or short poem based on the picture.  I thought this would be a fun linky to join, so here's my story, I actually have two stories and a poem to share.  This is my first try at this challenge, I hope you like it.

It's kind of funny that I was so inspired by a pastel colored poncho! lol.




~After the last water mirage, Lolita ignored the tall dark handsome man standing before her on a mission to save her from the savage desert. (139 characters)

~Lolita’s curvitas were on his mind as he crossed the hot desert. The thirst for water was minimal compared to the thirst he had for Lolita. (140 characters)

English translation: curvitas = curves


~hot sweat runs down your face
 you abandoned all that was yours
 you find yourself in a desolate desert
 wondering if leaving was the answer
 (137 characters)


Happy Monday Everyone

  3. Very nicely done, Maria, all three of them. I love the word "curvitas" and "Lolita's curvitas" certainly does have a ring to it. Well written. See you at MM again, I hope.

  7. I like all these, Maria. I am glad you didn't make us choose a favorite. I suppose my pick would be the last because it's a fortune come true. Bad fortune.
    The first one is a strong second because I tend to favor writings using mirages. I've always wanted to see one. :)

  9. all very creative, the second one was my favorite! I bet it was hard to come up with something and keep it under 140 characters! very challenging indeed, but you rose to the occasion and did great with it!

  10. Hi Maria,

    Those were all such great short stories, I particularly love the poem, it kind of ties in with how I saw the picture.

  13. Listen. Listen closely! I DO think that's Lolita singing "Mirage, that's all you are to me
    Mirage, something I only see!" Yep. I'm thinking it's safe to bet that Tall, dark and handsome is none other than Tommy James. A-and t-that other guy? The one that's getting away?! One of The Shondells of course!

    Good takes this week; much fun and frolic here! Thanks!

  21. I especially like your mirage take in the first story--very clever and creative. And the two thirsts in the second one were also unique and clever. I think eventually his thirst for water will outpace his thirst for Lolita! And finally I like the "second thoughts" in the third one...so you had a triple play...they're all great!

  22. I enjoyed them all, but I think the first was my favourite. I do hope that Lolita was wrong about that guy being a mirage, though.
    Have a great week. Cheers.

  23. Failing a lesson in patience, Lolita lost her man. However, a girl needs to hydrate!! Fun ideas, all!
