Temptation Redemption
Resisting Microfiction
Introduction
I see the current Vocal Microfiction Challenge as a temptation to share a hundred words of mine. This is about the struggle to stop myself from writing another short-form story.
This villanelle is quite flippant about my desire not to write another microfiction story for the current Vocal challenge.
The music is "Temptation" by New Order

I love all your fiction and microfiction. You can write as many as you want and I would read it!
That's about how I feel! It's so difficult, when I'm used to writing thousands of words at a time, to create something so short. But I gave it three chances and I'll be satisfied with it. Truly a creative work, Mike!
Nicely written! Good job!
Hey! Great job! π
I barely understand how to write a short story. I am leaning towards micro fiction as a prose poem story⦠but still nothing
Awesome workβ€οΈπ―π
Nicely done! Now I'm conflicted.
Impressive!!! Loving it!!!πππ
Love it, especially since now I know what I'm looking for in a villanelle!
