Microfiction Monday #19


Susan at 'Stony River' devised the brilliant challenge of writing a story in 140 characters. Each week she provides a picture to act as inspiration and the rest is up to . . . fate? Click here to read more – and why not join in? It's fun!
They didn't know how to tell her she hadn't tuned her lyre. Even worse was that she couldn't sing either! Eye contact was impossible.

    I always think harp (lyre) music is sweet, maybe not so much!
    Never thought of going this way, what a surprise for me!
    Have a good week and see you next time.

    The thought of an out-of-tune lyre makes me cringe!

    Wonderful! I never picked up on the fact that *nobody* is looking at anyone else in this pic -- and laughed out loud reading yours!

    Not my sisters! We all sing together off key and sounding like crap, and then we giggle hysterically. I don't know how the neighbors feel about that ....

    Excellent! I liked the way you got in the fact that no one's making eye contact as they muse.
