Welcome to Microfiction Monday,
where a picture paints 140 characters, or even fewer.
Go to the other side he said. How is he going to catch up with us? And now this storm!
What is that!?!
He peered into the storm.
It's a Ghost!
Take heart! Do not be afraid.
(Matthew 14:22-33)

About Microfiction Monday
Microfiction means the shortest of short stories. Think Aesop's fables, comic strips, or even jokes: complete stories that can be told in under a minute. For this game, the limit is a tweetable 140 characters or fewer.
Hate counting letters and spaces? Try Design 215's character counter, which will count for you as you type. Microsoft Word will count for you too, of course, as part of its word count feature under the 'Review' tab.
Photos will be from my own archives; illustrations are from Dover Publications' free clipart sample newsletter.
And finally, why 140? A whole new fiction market has arisen via mobile phone texting and Twitter, who limits 'tweets' to 140 characters including spaces and punctuation. It's fast, it's fiction, it's fun.

If that ghost has wings, I'd feel better. :)
Great take on Matthew! Wonderful :O)
I didn't know that Matthew was referring to a ghost in that verse. Thanks for clearing it up! LOL.
Have a great week. Cheers!
Oh, I love this Biblical allusion. Great take on this week's picture!
a ghost,
what fun!
well done!
Fantastic...
Since we're near neighbors -- do you mind telling me where you worship? We're at Reston Presbyterian...it's EPC...
Samurai -- I thought you were closer . . . EPC is Evangelical Presbyterian. Not as frozen, but not theologically liberal. The philosophy is:
in the essentials: unity
in the non-essentials: liberty
in everything: charity
See you next Monday!
