Micro Fiction - cynical

Believe me. I'm not
being cynical nor
sarcastic. I'm always open
with you.
I admire your sincerity.
It's just that I'm not 
ready just yet!

(140 characters)
counted through Design215 (here)

Grandma's Goulash challenged us to write a Micro Fiction of not exceeding 140
characters using the picture provided above and the word 'cynical'

  3. I wouldn't have believed it possible to write a full story in only what? 140 characters? Yet, you have proven it not only possible, but very enjoyable and powerful. Well done. It's like you channeled the picture. I enjoyed this.
