The woods whispered my name. As the leaves rustled beneath my feet, I walked on; I had to see who was there. How I wish I hadn’t!
Microfiction means the shortest of short stories. Think Aesop’s fables, comic strips, or even jokes: complete stories that can be told in under a minute. For this game, the limit is a tweetable 140 characters or fewer. Microfiction Monday is hosted by Susan at Stony River.

Oooh, scary. Poor little sweetie. “The woods whispered my name” would have me running back the other way. Very well done, Margaret.

I just love microfiction (hadn’t heard that term before–is it the same as flash fiction? It is to me!)
Anyway, I love it. Reminiscent of the small person in the red raincoat in Don’t Look Now. Eerie is definitely the word.
