Twittering Tales #6 – 30 November 2016

Bet you thought I forgot! Nope. Well maybe just a little, until today. So let’s get to it!

About the challenge: Each Tuesday I will provide a prompt, and your mission, if you choose to play along, 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 are the results for Twittering Tales #5 based on this photograph from last week. We have some new folks joining the fun!

From Kathryn at another foodie blogger:

What are the chances of running out of gas next to an identical car and packs on top that also ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere?
(135 Characters)

Kiwinana at Ramblings of a Writer:

Racing across the desert heading towards the skyline who’s going to make it before the fuel runs out?

Winner is the one who finds the exit.
(138 Characters)

and from me:

“Siri said to turn right.”

“Great! Since Siri is so smart, try asking her where we are!”

“Siri, where are we?”

Siri Answered: “Hell if I know!”
(140 Characters)

Thanks to everyone who played last week! See this week’s prompt photo below:

“Rosé” by cyclonebill from Copenhagen, Denmark at Wikimedia Commons.

After an hour Sue realized she’d been stood up. She ordered more wine, noticing an attractive stranger at the bar. “You’ll do,” she thought.

By Kat Myrman

Please forgive my lapse last Tuesday. I’m afraid I mistakenly thought that the WORLD HAD ENDED! Just kidding! (Maybe…:/)

A little about the challenge: Each Tuesday I will provide a prompt, and your mission, if you choose to play along, is to tell a story based on that prompt in 140 characters or less.

Have Fun! 🙂

But here are the results for Twittering Tales #3 based on this photograph from last week:

“So how does this dueling thing work? Oooh pretty sunset! Let’s just chill instead in the meantime….” -Kathryn at Another Foodie Blogger

“1….2….3….
their count was ON, as the were firing the shots..and for me an absolute fantastic click for “Diwali” photography contest…” –Sri Sudha K at her blog HERE.

and here’s mine:

They were an unlikely duo, often mistaken for “deplorables”, but they were “nasty”, no doubt about it, staking their claim on Election day. kat

Geesh…you can call me delusional…it’s okay I can take it! Along those lines, since we already know I am crazy I thought I’d have a bit of fun with this week’s photo prompt. 🙂

He knew what was at the beach. So, he stood staring at the people walking towards the beach, wondering whether to disclose or not??–Sri Sudha K at her blog HERE.

and here’s mine:

He lost her number, so he scanned each face in the crowd where they met, hoping to find her. He wouldn’t have cared, but she was “the one”. ~kat
