Every Tuesday, my friend, Kat Myrman chooses a photo and puts out a challenge to write a story using 140 characters or less, hence the title #TwitteringTales. I thought it would be fun to come up with a few possible scenarios. Think of them as musings from a coffee shop. Below is this week’s photo prompt.

Coffee or Not?
The usual, please.
Must relax. Calm down.
New boss comes today.
Yikes! He’s here already!
On second thought, maybe coffee’s not the best…

A Place of Remembrance
My favorite place! I remember how we laughed, talked and cried together.
Oh, how I miss you, my beloved friend. Now I’m alone, wondering why.

First Job
Blender whirring, coffee brewing, new flavors.
Baristas rushing. Smiling at customers both crabby and kind.
Her first job. She loved it all!

Lasting Friendships
For my last one I take a scene from my life using haiku. Years ago these ladies and I attended the same church, seeing each other twice a week. [bctt tweet=”Things changed and God moved us around to different churches. ” username=”GaylWright”]Now we rarely see each other, but we try to meet every month to make sure we keep in touch. We’ve lost one, but she’s not forgotten. What a blessing to have such faithful friends who are there for each other!
Five friends talk amidst
Aromas of fresh coffee
Missing one who died
Each month gathering
Sharing joys and trials here
Sisters joined by God

A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

Loved them all, Gayle!
Thanks, Bette!

Dear Gayl,
These are great! I love how you were able to arrive at such different scenarios, using such few amounts of words. And what a blessing to be able to continue meeting with dear friends. God sends us true gifts through friendship! I am thankful for you, my friend! Blessings, Hugs, and Love to you!
Thank you, Bettie. I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Yes, friends are true blessings. 🙂 And I am very thankful for you, too!
Blessings, Love and hugs! xo
Well, my friend… for all the obvious reasons (poetry & coffee!) you KNOW I love this! Great job!
Thanks, Karrilee! I’m glad you enjoyed them. 🙂
Blessings to you, my dear! xo
Dear Gayl, you have brewed up a sophisticated shot of coffee stops here! Each one with their unique flavour and with a story to tell. Lovely! It’s so good to drop by your site again, my friend. I love the clean, bright and welcoming new (to me) look as well. Have a blessed weekend. xoxo
Joy, it’s so good to have you visit again. 🙂 I’m so glad you enjoyed my little stories. Glad you like the new blog look. It’s been a little while, but is still fairly new. I’m so glad you find it welcoming.
Many blessings to you with love and hugs! xoxo
Thanks for sharing your writing experience at Literacy Musing Mondays. I’m not sure I’d be any good at this but you can expect me to at least give #twitteringtales a try!
Thanks for stopping by, Tami! Oh, I hope you give it a try. It’s fun!
Blessings to you!
