Microfiction Monday #45 The Skeleton


Susan from 'Stony River' organises and hosts this weekly meme. Thank you Susan J She provides a picture and the challenge is to create a story in 140 characters or less – including punctuation! Click here to read more marvels of microfiction – and perhaps join in. It's fun!
Here is this week's picture accompanied by my offerings. 


Henry was notoriously slow at making decisions. This time even he realised he had deferred too long. How would he explain to Bob's widow?

Arthur felt eyes on him. Suddenly he started humming, 'I ain't got no body'. When he turned round, he wasn't shocked to see a skeleton.

    Janice, aside from enjoying writing, we sure have one other thing in common--our MUSIC preferences. I played violin in symphonies for lots of years, etc.....

    thanks for stopping by on my first 140. (I didn't know you could do fewer, but hey---GOOD! Like your blog!

    Love the pun.
    Why didn't the skeleton go to the party?
    Cos he had nobody to go with!

    That indecision can be quite costly! And the pun is a great groaner!

    I like them both too! But what indeed will he tell the poor widow--and why hasn't she inquired about her husband's status before now? LOL. Cheers.
