Microfiction Monday: "Harrison Hits The Books"

It's Microfiction Monday. Yeah, yeah, it's Sunday. But apparently it's Monday in Ireland. Or something. And it's 5 o'clock somewhere. You can find it here if you're into that sort of thing.


Mine is called "Harrison Hits The Books"





Catarrh? Ague?
Cholemia? Pemphigus?

He studied the books, hunting madly for a clue. He knows she is dying, and it is breaking his heart.

  2. This is good. My usual remedy here, Michael, just force feed her with ice cream and chocolate cake.
    Then find out what she has later.

  12. Poor Harrison, hopefully he'll find the answer he is looking for. But maybe he should resign himself that it may be a bit too late.


    Good one Michael.
