About the challenge: Each Tuesday I will provide a prompt photo, and your mission is to tell a story based on that prompt in 140 characters or less.

If you accept the challenge, be sure to let me know in the comments with a link to your tale. A final note: if you need help tracking the number of characters in your story, there is a nifty online tool that will count for you at charactercountonline.com.

I will do a roundup each Tuesday, along with providing us a new prompt.

Have Fun!

Here is the roundup based on last week’s photo:

Glad I wore my boots.

Nearly there.

I’m so tired.

I’ll carry you?

Now they’re coupled
together in every sense
Her heart and legs run
wild, melting for him
