Min Min has taken flight into the unknowable night sky in such a way, I’ve decided to start the regular weekly prompt today (Friday my time) and thereafter every Friday. The link will close the following Thursday. Thank you to all the inaugural contributors for supporting the building of this new community.

As CE Ayr has informed me, the birthday of Rabbie Burns is coming up next week.

So this week’s prompt is:

The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
Gang aft agley (often go astray)

John Steinbeck borrowed the phrase ‘Of Mice and Men’ for his famous novella, which became a play and has been made into a movie twice. Once in 1939 with Burgess Meredith, Betty Field and Lon Chaney Jr and in 1992 with Gary Sinise, John Malkovich and Sherilyn Fenn

Let the prompt take you wherever you want to go.

Remember to read the guidelines here before you start.

Let the fun begin! Remember, no more than 250 words!

Then post your story on the Min Min Inlinkz link party page!
