It’s time again for Kat Myrman’s wonderful challenge to tax our creative souls. Just take her photo prompt and write a story, inspired by it, in 280 characters or fewer.

Here is this week’s prompt and my contribution. Check out all the fabulous entries here.
The Sand Fly Typing Pool
The experiment had been tried before with monkeys.
Now, working with sand flies, it was thought that, eventually, their landing on the row of keyboards must lead to a work worthy of Shakespeare.
What a pity Charlie, the office junior, had forgotten to load the platens with paper!

Oh Charlie. You’ve let the world down, you’ve let yourself down, but most importantly, you’ve let the sand flies down.

Love it!
I think I learned to type on one of those. Today someone will have used up the printer paper and forgotten to say!
Apologies if I’ve missed any of your posts this week.
