Microfiction Monday 11/8/10

Drat, drat, drat! every step in the leaves made an echo.
Mummy was far ahead now. Nanna was right behind
as we trailed that wretched pony.

something about those leaves ~ magnetic draw ~ your write evokes the crispy crunch of going through with that 'drat, drst, drat' like popping those cellophane wraps ~ so satifying ~ great take ~ Lib

She sounds like she needs to be carried on someone's shoulders. Aww.

At least ponies leave tell-tale markers behind them ;-)

I predict Mummy will find the pony first! I like the "sound effects."

I like the way you made us feel like we were there through the imagery and sound of this microfiction. Well done :)

Those leaves would certainly make it difficult to sneak up on anything or anyone! Good MM.
Have a great week. Cheers!
