Microfiction Monday #67

Lovely 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 followed by my offering.
Silently, stealthily the tree pulled up its roots and prepared to move forward. The humans would soon be swallowed up in the mists of time.

    Kinda scary, Janice. :)) Clever, though!

    I hope to get back to this meme soon. Too much other writing going on in my life right now to be able to concentrate on the microfiction.
