Another Microfiction Monday at Stony River and another visual prompt for a new story of 140 characters.
I struggled with keeping to the 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation. Finally, I got it down to the required length. Here is mine:
The children chose Christmas gifts for grandma. Emily bought chocolates and cake. Not to be outdone, Charlie remembers grandpa likes bacon.

Yes it is a challenge. I find it best to write down what you want to say and then move the subject/object order around until you cut out all the extraneous words. You did a great job. Poor piggy! ;O)

I write what I want and then edit it down, which doesn’t always work 🙂
