Microfiction Monday #48 Mysteries!
Lovely Susan from 'Stony River' organises and hosts this weekly meme. Thank you Susan J She provides a picture to prompt imagination 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 story.
The girls were rooted to the spot. Light shone behind them. One had grown a cross on her hat. Strange symbols appeared on her sister's coat.

There are elements/signs in this photo which seem to beg for a mystery to unfold! Great micro!
ReplyDeleteOh this is soo good!
ReplyDeleteHehe that is so clever - I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, this needs a sequel. Intriguing :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the speculative angle on this microfiction. I wonder what was happening to them?! Loved it.
ReplyDeletep.s. I’m running a competition this week and holding a blogfest in November. If you get time, pop along and have a look.
Very creative Janice, this meme does spark the imagination and I love that old photo that was used..
ReplyDeleteAn English Girl Rambles
Funny, wonder who trimmed them regularly LOL
ReplyDeleteLadies and gentlemen, you have just entered The Twilight Zone. [cue scary music]
ReplyDeleteVery well done!
Lovely - a great picture too which lends itself so well to the beginning of a story.
ReplyDeleteOooh very clever. I wonder how it all comes out myself. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteKind of like potted plants.
ReplyDeleteFunny funny approach and so different from many.
Sounds like a good start to me! ;P Thanks for stopping by my blog! Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteI makes you wonder...
ReplyDeleteVERY good! I enjoyed your take on this week's picture. I did wonder what those symbols on that coat meant...alien script, perhaps? LOL
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Sounds like the Druids have been at it again. Very mysterious.
ReplyDeleteI laughed a lot at this one! Maybe aliens within the shining light are doing experiments on them.
ReplyDeleteGreat story!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Applause!
ReplyDeleteThe left one looks like my mother, even the hat, except that kind of cross or whatever it is on the top !
ReplyDeleteApparently already at that time the fashion was the same.
Soon the spaceship would take them back to their home planet. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. In previous times they would have been burned at the stake for wearing symbols like that.
ReplyDeleteThey do look rooted there! That was a fun one.
ReplyDeleteI am reading a book about twin girls about the era of your girls.
ReplyDeleteIt is gilda O'neill's The Bells of Bow.
I am spending too much time blogging so reading is very slow.
BTW, what about the two us get a beach comber machine and try our luck to find some Roman hats and artifacts? Just heard the news of that lucky man.
fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteyou took small details and turned them into a suspense story in just a few words
Truly creative
ReplyDeleteOh whoa -- five stars for originality and spookiness, I love this! Unfortunately I'm also dying to know the rest of the story...
ReplyDeleteLOL
