Fiddlers
A Micro-Fiction Story
Henry and Joe relaxed in the cooling sands until a sudden, crushing weight thrust down upon them.
Trapped. No hope of escaping with their tiny limbs intact.
Except.
A horrendous scream rang out as Joe’s pincers found the soft flesh of a human ass.
The chaos that ensued sent the friends scurrying to outrun the naked female flailing heavy objects in their direction.
Finally safe in their underground burrow, Joe caught his breath and noticed Henry’s huge grin.
“What’s so funny?” he scowled.
“Well,” replied Henry “If she’s so afraid of crabs, she shouldn’t be fiddling with that guy.”

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
