Microfiction Monday: The Ponkey Whisperer


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.



For Erasmus, it was just more bad luck. His "The Ponkey Whisperer" should have been a bestseller. But some twit beat him to it with a horse!

Have a marvelous week, everyone. And may Susan bring some sunshine to our soggy Pacific Northwest.

  7. Those darn publishers! They sit on a good idea until some fancy-schmancy more-Hollywood type shows up! We FEEL for Erasmus!

  10. But he could write the Ponkey Trial. Oh wait hasn't that been done? Yes I know it's Wednesday but my employer unreasonably expected me to work on Monday and Tuesday so no time free except to sleep and even that down to 5-6 hours! Inspired by Shakespeare this week. My Micro Story
