Micro Fiction - cynical

Image: Courtesy of Grandma's

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'

    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.

    You did well with your limit of words - told us a whole chapter in a few lines. Cool, kiddo!

    Good for her--she can stand up to a smooth-talking Romeo. I like your interpretation of the picture.

    Sometimes the story's not in the words, it's behind them - as here. Well told.
