Grandma's Goulash graciously hosts Succinctly Yours, the wonderful meme for those of us addicted to microfiction. The trick is to write a story in 140 characters or less using the photo below as inspiration. To add to the challenge is the word of the week, "drift." My stories are below.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I got to this so late in the week, because it would have made my day Monday. That leg wasn't all that shook. When I laugh with my hand on the mouse, the whole screen shakes!
