Microfiction Monday #72

 The harp turned into a wet mop, jostling her awake.
"Clean the mess first" barked the angry voice.
Sloshing in the rain was no longer fun.

Nice. But is it a cinderella story?

Peggy said...

Nice take on th picture.
I think this is my first time reading your blog! A treat!
I'm following you now too.

Pat said...

Her hair does look like she's been sloshing in the rain. Nothing like a shrill voice to jolt a fairy back to reality! Clever MM story!

Melanie Sherman said...

I'm with Pat. She does look like she's been mopping up slop. Very clever.

Very different for sure...I love the contrast between the image and the story :-)

Porky said...

Looking back at the picture after reading, I can almost feel that jolt from soft daydream back to harsh reality. A clever take, and effective.

Jinksy said...

All work and no play, eh?

Diane said...

A very unpleasant way to wake up for sure! :O)

Dianne said...

something always has to be cleaned
it's just not right

Anonymous said...

And the sad thing is she'll just get it finished and it will be time to do it again! Why is there never any end to housework! Loved it....have a great week.

Granny Kate said...

That's a unique take on the picture. Interesting blog, too.
