Microfiction Monday: Custer's Last Stand

Welcome to Microfiction Monday, at Stony River: a writing life,
where a picture paints 140 characters, or even fewer.

[Hate counting letters and spaces? Try Design 215's character counter, which will count for you as you type. Microsoft Word will count for you too, of course, as part of its word count feature under the 'Review' tab.]

Here's this week's picture, and my story to go with it:




After watching "2012," Custer decided to build an ark. Whoops! Halfway through construction, he ate the blueprints. Truly his last stand. (137 characters)

Have a good week, everyone!

    Ah, that Custer was a born loser! Hope the blueprints were tasty! Have a great week, Michael!

    A very witty assessment.

    And quite unfortunate for Custer!

    A clever use of not one, but two, interesting ideas.

    After watching "2012", think I'd be looking for a ride with John Cusack. ;)

    This one was fun!

    Poor Custer, I guess he didn't have a Photographic Memory. Silly goat.,
