The picture below is the inspiration and a 140 character limit sets the parameters. Susan at Stony River is the host of this Microfiction Monday. Please click here to check out Susan's excellent site and learn more about Microfiction Monday.

Here is this weeks Microfiction Monday picture and my 'micro' short story.

    Sad to contemplate. But that's what monks do - they contemplate, right?

    Possibly true, sadly - but a great contemporary take on the prompt :-)

    Very timely, well done! (and I wonder what they'd say?)

    It's unbelievable what's going on in the Gulf - very sad.

    Wow! I love this take on things. Very topical and as pointed as the monks' cowls!

    Have a great week.

    Oh dear. That doesn't hold out much hope, does it? Nature will eventually clean herself, but how long and at what cost?

    I wouldn't call this microfiction. It's more like micro-reality. Thanks for a very relevant take on this one.

    You can be political and astute in so few characters--so why can't BP be equally effective in SEVERAL WEEKS of attempts?
