Microfiction: Maternity

Welcome to Microfiction Monday, where a picture paints 140 characters or fewer.

Alice knew that her prayers had been answered when she experienced a vision of five children. “But that’s so many,” she protested.

    Interesting how the picture suggests a poignant reaction. Sadly being a cold fish my take is different! My metaphor machine microfiction.

    The vision becomes a prophecy of maybe the number to be of her children! Delightful twist!

    We often have trouble receiving what we haven’t realized we asked for! Well done!

    Must remember to be specific when wishing from now on. She got blessing in multitude, huh?

    At least this way Alice will know she’d better not sell her baby things at a yard sale, as chances are good she’ll need them again! Great job–made me smile.

    Well, if that’s what she prayed for, then she shouldn’t complain! I know, I know, we women can be fickle.

    Typical, isn’t it? But maybe she’ll be lucky, and just have a baby with five personalities.
