Microfiction Monday #50: Survivor




Martha takes her reality shows very seriously. Leaving her old life behind, she’s ready, and more than willing, to be voted off the island.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I decided to attempt something a little different today and participate in Microfiction Monday. It's a pretty good way to jump start the brain after being away from blogging and working the past 3 days. (Besides, I am sure my complaining about the Carolina Panthers, every single Monday, is getting old!)

Microfiction Monday is a weekly meme where you design a story, in 140 characters or less, around a specific picture. For more information on Microfiction Monday, and to read other stories, please visit Susan over at Stony River.

A great idea to link with a reality show formula and turn it into another reality! Creative!

Your microfiction take cracked me wide open-->LOL! (I'm still howling-- I can barely work my keyboard to write this!) Thanks for being today's Taker of the Cake! Now let me see, where did you put that "Follow" button of yours? I'm definitely going to have to click on it!

My guess is Martha will be watching reality shows in the future, but not participating in them again.

Yours is a unique take on this week's picture!

S. Susan Deborah said...

Another addition to your repertoire: Microfiction! You are one adventurous blogger who always is up for a new challenge. Hats off!

Hope Martha does not take it too far.

Hope the week is rolling fine for you and Sister mates at home!

Joy always,
Susan
