Microfiction Monday #11


Welcome to Microfiction Monday,
where a picture paints 140 characters.
Susan over at Stonyriver hosts Microfiction Monday.

Here's this week's picture, and my story to go with it:



Now where's that darn key pad
Faye thought as she looked at her phone
I'm pregy after all these years and
I have to tweet all my friends


The rules are simple,to use Susan's picture she posts then compose a story up to 140 characters including spaces and punctuation.
Then hop on over to Susan's and leave your name. She even has a brilliant character counter to help us count.
As Susan promises, it's fast, it's fiction, it's fun.

    I love your MFM story;
    Gosh that would be awful to not remember where your new job was located. That sounds like a bad dream that I might have had once!

  11. Peggy, can you *imagine* if we suddenly had to live with technology that's a century old? Would we be lost or what -- but congratulations to Faye anyhow, this was so cute!

    Lin's is great too -- what a Monday that would be OMG
    :-O

  12. Peggy, I'm sure my children would say that that's the kind of phone we had when we were little! Ha ha! Yeah, with the dinosaurs running around too. Well done!

  13. Susan;

    It's a scary thought ! I'm so glad that I am part of this generation, just think, no blogging either!

    Lin's is great too, I wish that she would join us. Every week she writes one an I ask her to join us!
    I think she might just do that. I know that hse has so much going on that she doesn't want to be tied to it but she can always take time off and just do it when she has the time!
    We'll see, I'm very optimistic!
    We all love your meme. Best one that I've ever done!How does it feel to be awesome?

    Yep, I can just see you andme and Wilma and Barney, Betty and Fred all together! My kids probably think that way too. One thing that we (I) didn't have was a cell phone. Sometimes that's bad but mostly would have been a good thing!
    Til next week my friend! Have a great week!

  18. I think I would have that expression, too, if I received that news at my stage of life! And texting or tweeting puts a new spin an "announcing the news" that I didn't have in my baby years.

  19. Barbara;

    Me either, I'm glad that I had all my babies when I was younger. I do wish that I had some of these new technologies earlier though!
    Thanks for coming by and leaving a great comment!

  23. This reminds me of that old joke, "What are the 3 forms of communication? Telegraph, Telephone and tell a woman." :)

    Well done friend!

  25. To think they were once as big as a brick and cost the average wage earner $6000 to $8000. And now between the three of us we have five mobiles and three landlines!
