Microfiction Monday: Ewan's Choice

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.


"One door to dullness, one to decadence, one to despair. Which will you choose, Ewan?"

"None, Father. I choose the last door. To delight." (139 characters)
 
(If you too would choose the door to delight, please take a moment to join my anniversary blog party at the post below. I want to thank all you microfictioneers for helping make my first year of blogging such a delightful one.)

Thanks for your comments. I look forward to reciprocating within the next day or two.

    Sounds like Evan knows what he wants. Lets hope it isn't something completely different than what he thinks it is.

    Wonderful Microfiction Michael.

    Great choice, Ewan--the door to delight! This hallway of doors is pregnant with meaning; I like your interpretation.

    Very nice, Michael. Poor kid, Father was trying to ruin the poor kid's life!
    I am glad he was able to see the light.
