Susan from 'Stony River' organises and hosts this weekly meme. She provides a picture and the challenge is to create a story in 140 characters or less. Click here to read more marvels of microfiction – and perhaps be tempted to join in.
Susan has kept this meme going despite undertaking a BIG move – so let's hear three more rousing cheers for her now that she's safely back in the USA J
Here is this week's picture followed by my offering.
'Try reading like this,' said the monk on the floor.

A challenge, indeed :-)
ReplyDeleteNice one.
I do find when lying on the floor reading one's arms tire very quickly! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHa ha -- my word verification is 'pooper'
As in party?
Those monk straitjackets are so inconvenient. Clever solution.
ReplyDeleteI can't read lying on the floor either. I feel his pain, literally. So different again, good job.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a tie for restrictiveness.
ReplyDeleteOh, funny one! Some smart one always has an answer for everything! Great take, Janice! Hope your week is off to a great start!

Came from another blog-
ReplyDeletenice woood sculpture -I wonder where the monk on the floor originally was situated (can't make it out on the pic)?
Indeed. When I read on the floor I much prefer to leave the chair upright and stretch out on my tummy. What kind of inhuman asylum are these poor fellows in?!
ReplyDeletewhy is Try reading like this a good read? Thanks for dropping by.My Microfiction
ReplyDeletemonks gone mad?
ReplyDeletea fun take with some serious undertones
I think the second Monk is on to something, but like SLM said his arms must tire easy.
ReplyDeleteLOL the floor monk is certainly on to something! Simply an efficient method of keeping one's page, not laziness at all...
