Microfiction: DOWN TOWN

 Grandma at Grandma's Goulash provides a picture and a word prompt for this Microfiction Meme and the rules are use the photo as inspiration for a story of 140 characters OR 140 words.
Want more challenge? Use the word of the week in your story. This part is optional.
This week's word is PRACTICE here's the picture and my offering using the picture and word of the week  in 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.


 Old City Hall did not mind...nor I.
It was all I could find...(sigh)
My very own private place.
Pre-cyber "My Space"
to practice my violin.

    Nicely done! At least the violinist is aware of his own limitations and doesn't want to bother others, so we have to give him credit for being considerate.

    Excellent microfiction...and it rhymes, too. I like the phrase "Pre-cyber 'My Space'"...lol!

    It does look like the perfect old vacant building in which to practice a musical instrument.

    Oh yes, "pre-cyber My Space" is great!
    And I have a friend who practices her violin in the basement even though she lives alone.

    Microfiction in rhyme, I am impressed. It would make an excellent music studio - provided that roof doesn't leak. lol

    Such a clever tale you've spun rhythm, rhyme, and humor all in under 140 characters.

    The music must have stayed in the Hall, and continue to stay.

    A good one never go away.
