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.

And your 50-word story for Margot was terrific; one really got an impression of the main character and that is amazing in so few words.

You worked in his boots! I didn’t know what to think of his shoe choice so I avoided it altogether.
