The Plan
A Micro-Fiction Story By Birithivy Yogaratnam
"Good evening folks," said the leader. "If you're here, you know what the plan is: to rob and take down the biggest underground gambling syndicate. They've got more money within the confines of their establishment than any Vegas or Atlantic City casino. And we are going to take each and every single dollar out of there." Everyone looked at the leader confused. The 100 or so individuals all looked at him, as he spoke to them with a sheer amount of confidence and swagger.
"Each one of you is numbered from 1-100, and each of you is assigned a task within this mission. Whatever money you make in your time there, its yours. As you all know, outside of your number, none of you will divulge any personal info to each other. The purpose of this mission is top secret, and no one outside of this room shall know that this heist exists. Not your mom, dad, siblings, friends, or even your dentist. You will be assigned special in-ear devices to help rig things in your favour and to help communicate with everyone. The pot is 230 million dollars." Everyone's attention peaked when hearing the amount.
"So, are you ready?"

Dog Days
Sometimes I wonder while wandering around: what’s the meaning of life? Sure, as a dog its hard to ask that question. Life sure goes by quickly. So much to do, so little time. So much sights to see and scents to smell. Everytime me and my parents’ go to the park, I smile when I see their happiness while on our walks. If there’s a real answer to the meaning of life it could be this: happiness. For me, I’m just happy I can lie around, and hang with my best friends on a lazy sunday. What a life.

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

The Day the Clock Refused to Move
The clock stopped at 9:17 a.m. At first, no one noticed. The café buzzed with its usual sounds—cups touching saucers, chairs scraping the floor, conversations overlapping without apology. Outside, traffic continued its impatient rhythm. Time, as far as anyone could tell, was still doing its job.
