Silent but Deadly

Today's muse: Stony River

Susan Carleton, at Stony River, is not having a good day. Not only is she living through a snow blizzard and ice storm, but the proverbial straw sent everything crashing when the power went off. Poor thing! We're all thinking of you, Susan!

The up side (at least for all us Microfiction Monday Junkies) is that Susan posts the picture she'll use the next week. Today's prompt is from her post of last week.

Micro Monday #60:

Stone Burden

Leaves flutter and birds croon but she hears none of it; she only stares at the granite and knows it’s too heavy to bear.

Into the Forest

I found a new muse: Microfiction Monday over at Stony River.

Every Monday, Susan Carleton posts a photograph or illustration as our muse to write a 140 character short. Perfect for Twitter, I might add.

I realize the photo speaks to bunnies and kittens, but I'm in a dark place right now and my mind wandered to more lethal things.

Microfiction Monday #56:

Into the Forest

Eyes squeezed shut, hands clamped over her tiny ears, she cowers in the shadows of the forest and prays the screams don’t find her.
