Microfiction Monday: The Knightley News

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.




In homage to Jane Austen:


After he won Emma's affections, Mr. Knightley became light-hearted. Not uncommonly he would go about his business dressed as a real knight.


(Could you have made it any harder, Susan? I'm rusty after a couple of weeks away, but glad to be back and looking forward to seeing what the rest of you come up with.)

    Now Mr. Knightley's friends will know for sure that he is insanely in love with Emma. Or they might just think he is insane.

    Hey Michael `` I glad you have him looking good. Neatness pays off.

    Light hearted or light headed? At least he was happy, right?

    Persuasion's my favorite, but do I LOVE what you did with this. What a great play on a character's name, this was fun to read!
