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, "memories." My stories are below.
Hide-asaurus Rex
(139 characters)
Rex loved to play hide & seek. Buzz and Woody kept to the playroom and would never think to look for him next to Grandma’s special elixir.
Not-So-Tyrannosaurus Rex
(139 characters)
When Big T asked to be reincarnated as a soft, benign creature, this wasn’t his intent, prompting the warning: Be careful what you ask for.
No Rex At All
(140 characters)
“Memories . . . blight the corners of my mind . . .” sang Rex into his bubbly. Clearly, he was still bitter over the whole extinction thing.

Thanks for visiting! See you on Wednesday for the naked truth about . . . Near Misses.
Have a great week!

This one's heading for extinction.

Happy New Year wishies!

The last one was my favorite. I could hear Babs singing in a duet with Rexie.
Thanks for the chuckle...tomorrow I have to go back to work.
I'd be bitter too if it were my line that had become extinct. Number Three gets my vote, bottoms up. ;)
Drown my sorrows? I could be the last of my line and never realize it!

Can't decide which I liked best. All were excellent.
Loved them all, but the last one was hysterical!

Of course extinction would make one bitter, the bubbly should make him feel better. :)
Hi Lisa, these are great ... love the reincarnation and bitterness points of view; I never would have considered those.
Thanks so much for all your comments and support. Hope you have having a wonderful day ... we are getting ready to watch the Rosebowl and root for our Ducks!
Fabulous, Lisa!
I love them all, but I think I like the last one best.

I'm still laughing, especially about the "extinction thing." That's my favorite; my second most favorite is the "Grandma’s special elixir " story. Once again, you win the Microfiction Queen crown, Lisa!
Love the last one! LOL Made me laugh.
Rex seems to be having a melancholy evening. Perhaps less of the bubbly will lead to a brighter mood?
Happy New Year, Lisa!
:)
..."bitter over the whole extinction thing." Love it! Great job, as usual.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, LISA!
Nicely done! Never thought of a T-Rex and a writing prompt, but hey, why not! :)
Well, it appears that bitter Rex was not about to take a cup o' kindness for auld lang syne.
I'll never hear "The Way We Were" again without remembering "blight the corners of my mind". Loved them all, but that one is absolute genious, Lisa.
You are making me addicted to microfiction. Yours.
Thank you for your comments! Much appreciated.
always careful what I wish for too - I might get what I asked for :) And love the last one..
I agree with Tammy... always have to read your microfiction--Queen Microfiction!
