I went to the museum yesterday. Have you been there?

I lived it, I don’t need to.

The pronoun seems like a odd concept.

Well 3467-57v, we used to be individuals with independent thought. We used to be human.

But we are human.

We are nothing but drones. #2wordprompt

The elemental thought he had the answer. Hiding in plain sight as water in the giant pothole feet away from where his next mark would be standing. Who knew the guy would park his car tire right in the pothole. "Who does shit like that", he thought as his resilience got tested.

"All #aboard," cried the #conductor, "for #Amber #Meadow!"

It sounded fun! Children streamed towards the carriages, parents cheering them on. Once the doors were closed, the train pulled out... and the slaughter began.

Momma's gotta eat, right?

Primitive and wild, the forest murmured to itself. From a bramble of blackberries, fat bumblebees droned and danced in the shafts of light lancing through the leaves to dapple the undergrowth.
Beautiful, but unforgiving in turns. Among the leaf litter, the stark jut of ribs from a fallen deer gleamed white, body twisted in death.
If nature was a teacher, it spoke in words familiar, but still unknowable.

Mistakes had been made.
Her ears were still ringing to that achingly pure chime as she made her way through a city of ash under a charcoal sky.
Numb, she lifted her hand to stare at the burn on her palm. The outline of the key was stark against her swollen hand. She’d had it. Held it.
So close. She wanted to scream at how close they’d been to fixing everything.
Yeah, mistakes had been made. She’d made so many and the wreckage around her was her reward.

'What's your specialty?' She asked
'Random, um..technology, yours?'
'Topology robotics'
'That's very nice but can you shoot straight?
'As straight as an arrow, you?'
'On good days, but these leather pants are too tight and I have to stand like this.'

"Jussst for a #moment," the voices whisper, insidious, ophidian, tempting. "#Unbind thissss curssse and let ussss #embrace. Let us ssshow you the world we can #create together..."

I was falling into eternity. Surely a few moments wouldn't hurt...?

"So," he smiled. "What d'you #think of my new #tax proposals? It'll #save our economy by raising billions from those who can least afford it!"

I stirred my now #tepid tea and grunted noncommittally, waiting. Hopefully the poison would kick in soon.

She tensed like a #coiled spring, and #accepted #another #call from the unknown number.

"Listen," a voice said, "your life is in danger, and..."

Dropping the handset, she whirled, unsheathing the sword.

"Fuck you," she snarled, taking his head.

"Maybe, the #misery of #rejection wouldn't have hit me so bad if I'd not used such an #awe-struck tone when telling her that she was #hot."

"Maybe, or perhaps you shouldn't have thrown up in her handbag right afterwards."

"Yeah, that didn't help."

His eyes glazed, as if gazing at a distant #horizon. Suddenly focusing, he muttered "It's not #safe here."

"The #Wounded #Bastard," said #GrumpySwearyFairy, "is one of finest inns for miles and it's your round. A large &*!$ing beer for me, matey."

Nina’s been driving out to Angel’s Brink—staring out into the void for hours at a time. Some say there’s a thriving, civilized world down there, beneath the clouds, but that’s just romantic garbage. Anything that survived the Solar Wars isn't worth seeing, never mind visiting. Could we even breathe the air down there?
Still, I follow Nina whenever I can, keeping my distance so she won't cuss at me.
I swear one day she’s gonna jump.

“…The horde took Red Leader and our medic…I can only pray they went quickly. The rest of us are holed up with the locals in their sacred space. Some composite in the walls keeps the evil out, so they say. It works, but we're out of ammo, and running low on rations and water. Ramos probably won't last the night…I’m sorry, Sylvie. I think this is my last transmission. I hope you're receiving.”

"Now's not the time to be #romantic. With the secrets in this #almanac, we stand on the #brink of a greatness to rival God!"

Wings unfolded from her back as a bolt of flame took his head clean off.

"Not so fast, friend. I'm His avenging #angel."

"That seems a #tangent-ial route, look at the #map; easier if we go this way..."

"Where it says Valles Lacertus Esuriens?"

"Yep."

"That means #Starved #Saurian Valley. You'll get us eaten by a dinosaur."

"Oh."

"Yes, Oh. Let's go the long way."

I hated what the alien drugs did to the captain.

That summer, Dylan was found floating facedown in the river. The carnies rolled through town one week later, oblivious to the town’s solemn mood.
There was one clown that didn’t smile and wave with the rest of them. He looked Astrid in the eye and mouthed, Help me.

#2WordPrompt #carnies #river #vss #writing #MicroFiction

still life of a broken blade,
a splintered shield, pierced
by three arrows

all rust, all faded
paint, tattered fletching

draped in garlands
of poppy and asphodel
oaths forsaken, forgotten

at dawn, we hail the glorious dead
then dream of peace at dusk
