Microfiction Monday # 28


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

Here is this weeks picture and my story to go with



When I found out that Dad's one wish was to be IN a can of tuna
not ON a can of tuna, said Charley Jr.
I chose a different path!


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!

  1. Good for Charley Jr. Glad he doesn't want to follow in the path of his Father's Fin Prints. Susan did make it harder this week. Nice one Peggy.

    The word verification is Perch, hmmm, sounds fishy.

    Good ole Charley Sr, he never was accepted at Starkist. He died a broken fish!
    Have wonderful evening, it's kind of hot and humid here. Beats ice and snow!

    I didn't have a lot of ideas on this one.
    Pretty much just the one theme.
    Been a busy week , so didn't stress to much.
    How are you feeling? I thought you were better then you said that you didn't feel well.
