MIcrofiction Monday # 49

Welcome to Microfiction Monday.

Where a picture paints 140 characters.

Susan over at Stonyriver hosts Microfiction Monday The rules are simple,to use Susan's picture she posts then compose a story up to 140 characters including spaces and punctuation.

So here is this weeks picture and my story to go with.

First there was Exon Valdez in Alaska,

now the BP rig in the Gulf.

Juan Valdez is so fed up
he's going back to pitching coffee beans.
(More with Juan here!)

Now leap on over to Susan's place and leave your name.
She even has a brilliant counter to help us count.
As Susan promises, it's fast, it's fiction, it's fun!
