How low can you go?
Use the photo as inspiration for a story of 140 characters OR 140 words. It doesn’t have to be exactly 140, just not more.
Want more challenge? Use the word of the week in your story. This part is optional.
I’ve changed the Linky time to accommodate those who prefer to play on Sunday. It will open on Sunday at 12:15AM, although I will continue to be more of a Monday player.
How do I come up with the weekly word?
I don’t. I ask my daughter for a word. She hasn’t seen the picture. That makes it more fun for both of us. Hopefully, you are enjoying it too.
Photo for Monday, August 1st.
Word Of The Week:
proliferate

Laurie hadn’t gotten the full story, of course. There are some things you don’t tell your children. There are things you don’t tell your spouse.
After my epiphany, I called Jodie’s house and got the answering machine.
