I'm with the good Doctor. Wholly original take on the prompt. Bet it's unique. And if it isn't, some toerag "borrowed" it from you, Margaret!

Hi Margaret - Love your MF and also the other work you have posted (I took a look around). I'll keep an eye on your other blogs through this one, which I'm now following. You have wonderful creative talent. Glad I found you!

Lisa, Dr FTSE, Trellissimo & Lisa - Thank you for your comments on my Micro Fiction. I have been hesitant to join in the fun and now that I have I'm having so much fun. Jotting little things down in my notebook I carry around all the time.

...well, my young kids play it all the time, so I'm not sure how clever it is. But I do like the compliment, thank you.
