Microfiction Monday: Mothman Redux

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's the world's best meme, coming to you from Susan at Stony River. One of the highlights of a dangerous writer's week. Enjoy.


"The mist over Uranus is so beautiful," said Borophax the Blue. Mothman wasn't listening. Wings tented overhead, he dreamed of other moons. (140 characters on the nose.)

Knowing Susan's partiality for the afore-mentioned planet, I decided to continue where I left off two weeks ago, with Mothman and the blue-robed wizard. Heck, this may turn into a novel!

Good to be back. I missed last week's MM and missed all of you. Thanks in advance for your comments. I look forward to visiting in return over the next couple of days.

    Take care with obsessions, you never know where they may lead you.

    Michael;

    I love it too and I love reading books in a series. Maybe Mothman will flutter his wings again sometime?
    Have a nice week Michael.

    I agree with Hope - "wings tented overhead" was my favorite bit, too.

    Oh I'm in love with this one! Sounds like a great start for something for the Mothman anthology too -- I'm working on mine late nights, whenever I can, and hoping it goes somewhere. Thanks for the craft book reviews!

    Nice one! It has a mysterious and romantic overtone, and is quite intriguing. You're right--you probably do have a novel in there!
