Microfiction Monday #43 ~ where a picture paints 140 characters, or even fewer. Susan says:
Photos will be from my own archives; illustrations are from Dover Publications' free clipart sample newsletter.

The postcard slithered from her hands. All those lonely months wondering.
His Greetings from New York meant Farewell with a slinky smile.

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

I loved the end of the last line, so much said by just two words. Inspired as always!
Wonderful...
The cad. He should be horse whipped. Gone for SF adventure today. My 140 is here
That's a nasty way to be dumped!
A Dear John postcard. Cold.
Very well done.
Well, at least she can stop wondering, and move on. And put the voodoo doll on the right location before she inserts the next pin!
Kind of sad...but very well written, Gemma.
Urgh... nasty!
Tasty MFM.
sad..
well done piece.
Ooh, I hate him and I don't even know him. Good one!
How heartless to send a postcard. Slithered, indeed.
What lengths some men will go to in order to avoid dealing with tears! Good story. Thanks for sharing.

Someone posted on Twitter today, 'for every girl with a broken heart, somewhere there's a man with sticky tape and some glue'. Oh I hope it's true!
You drew a character through that short piece. Well done.
A sad story but oh so well done. I don't care for him already. Good one my friend. :)
Never has one postcard left so many people behind in a week. :)
I liked what Susan said
and I think this was a great micro
such emotion evoked
