Microfiction 4
The challenge is to write a response to the image in no more than 140 characters. Spaces are characters, too. It’s just a bit of nonsense, really, but I’d love to know how you would respond to the prompt.
Picture source unknown
Fairy Marigold grimaced as she leant over to clean the prince’s shoe. The ribbons on her wand danced in an effort to escape the odour. (134 characters)
As Primrose put the tracking device in the shoe, she noticed tentacles slithering over the front and wondered what was trying to escape. (136 characters)
Oh yuk, said Pretty Polly. Very unhappy with having to clean The Giant’s smelly shoes after he had roamed the wet marshlands the day before (139)
ReplyDeleteFun post for Friday😊
I feel for Pretty Polly ;-)
DeleteNice! I always make the mistake to read these later at night, when I'm too tired to come up with a witty response lol
ReplyDeleteThere's no obligation - just enjoy:-)
DeleteTwinkletoes wondered yet again if the internet advice to clean shoes with a denture tab would really work . . . (110, I think, but I'm having trouble counting on my small tablet screen! And I includeded the dots and spaces at the end. I enjoyed this mini-challenge and like your 'tentacles' take!)
ReplyDeleteDenture cleaner for shoes - interesting thought. Why not? Toothpaste is used for many other things, too.
DeleteIf I sprinkle fairy dust on this thing will it turn into a Porsche?
ReplyDeleteIf only . . . (but a reliable one, please!)
DeleteThe little girl who never liked fairy stories saw the shoe and pondered slipping it on and stamping on the fey creature’s toe…
ReplyDeleteSweet revenge!
ReplyDelete'Methinks this odour eater is made for fairy sized shoes' said Flora 'but it's worth a try'
ReplyDeleteAlison in Wales x
Odour eaters - I'd forgotten all about those :-)
DeleteI say fairy, I say love, I say pet, for all your beauty, your brain is a worry. You don't insert a dvd into a shoe. Or maybe my brain is the real worry.
ReplyDeleteStill learning the ways of humans . . . ;-)
DeleteI like the fairy tale sort one, and I read fiction non-stop, but I could not produce a good story I bet.
ReplyDeleteThat's what they all say!
DeleteI really must remember to wear the gas mask when it is my turn to clean the human shoes.
ReplyDeleteThat made me giggle!
DeleteI'm giggling at Rivers words too.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
A sense of humour is essential or life would be very dull.
DeleteI loved both your offerings and those of the other commentors. Unfortunately, I haven't got much inspiration myself ... xxx
ReplyDeleteInspiration comes when it will - it can't be forced:-)
DeleteMade me chuckle!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to read other people's interpretations.
