Watched #theearlyspring drama and I just realized Luke has had to watch Flora hug so many guys 😆 No wonder he's incensed all the time

I haven't written any #microfiction in a long while. All my creativity recently has gone to my crafting instead. However, I did get one of my little tales published recently which I'd forgotten about. It's published by @ShortBeasts Read it here shortbeasts.com/micro-flash-… 😀

I used to be scared of watching horror movies like "The Exorcist" but these days my greatest fear is not being able to afford groceries.

Tuxedo cats traverse dimensions. Two tones, two truths. Their method? A long gaze into their own #reflection. The glass ripples, the whiskers shimmer, and suddenly they’re gone - padding into a world where shadows purr back #vss365

Aliens set #goals too. Not to map galaxies or decode dreams. But to drink more water, stop doomscrolling, and finally fix the blinking light on Deck 7. By March, they’d forgotten the goals, and the blinking light on Deck 7 still blinked. #vss365

Fairies charted pollen drift, tested dew for emotional residue. They called it #science. Humans called it weather. #vss365

Mira sneezed. The forks multiplied. Then the spoons. By lunch, the drawers overflowed. By dinner, the sink was a silver forest. She tried not to sneeze again, but the #number kept growing. #vss365

They called it the forbidden dish. The recipe was a #myth - never written, only whispered. Cook it once, and you're blessed. Cook it twice, and the ancestors wake hungry. Halia stirred the pot a second time. The myth began to speak #vss365

Researchers announced a discovery: #literature etched by insects into leaves. Tiny mandibles carved epics, aphids wrote elegies in veins, and one moth inscribed a law against silence. The forest became a library #vss365

The #law was clear: sea creatures could frighten sailors only twice per voyage. A third scare risked exposure and exile to deeper waters. So they rationed their horrors carefully - one scream in the fog, one claw at the hull, then silence, till new sailors trespass. #vss365

In the future, the virus didn’t bring fevers. It brought syllables. One cough, one word, and suddenly she spoke in an alien #language no one understood. The danger wasn’t touch, it was listening. Every conversation was a risk. Every silence, a cure. #vss365

During the Hungry Ghost Festival, she lit incense and opened the door. #History arrived hungry - grandmothers, forgotten soldiers, children waving from attics. They ate her offerings, whispered her name, and left her with a note: You are part of us now #vss365

She failed #geography. Not for missing rivers, but for drawing maps that existed only for her: the street where her laughter still echoes, the coastline where her heart broke, the city built from unanswered letters. Every exam was marked wrong. Every map was true. #vss365

Zarnok Vel was #famous on Mars. Not for his inventions, but because his dad crashed at Roswell. Now he does talk shows, signs autographs in six languages, and his memoir - My Father, the Meteor - is a bestseller in three galaxies #vss365

Ghosts receive a formal #education before haunting. They study moaning techniques and door-slamming rhythm. Graduation requires sending one human screaming from a house without triggering actual trauma. It’s harder than it sounds. #vss365

Smurfette was the only girl. The others called her #domestic by default, handed her brooms and mops, with smiles. She smiled back, painted her house gold, and never touched their mess. By winter, every Smurf cleaned with a little more shame #vss365

Everyone had a #creature. Invisible, loyal, absurd. It tugged your sleeve when you strayed, whispered directions when you forgot your name, and curled beside you when you stopped walking. Only one rule: You must never ask what it looks like #vss365
