Microfiction Monday: The Wooden Spell

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.



The witch crept into the monks' choir. Destroy her, would they? She had other plans. Before the psalm's final note, they were shiny wood. (137 characters).

(If you have time, fair friends, please read my previous post and come up with a name for my new bear muse. Though it might be hard to beat Susan's.... Thanks, and have a great week.)
