Cyranny’s 1MinFic

Finally realizing the move was worth it, she lounges on her balcony after a long day at the office. Looking out over the harassment of the city, she revels in the quiet glow of day’s end—a spectacular sunset.

Grampa Speaks

“Your lyrics pathetic, your melody worthless and the presentation shoddy. Do you even think before you compose such a ballad? The only positive response will be from juvenile teenyboppers who don’t care what you’re saying and just want to hang on each other dancing to it. This whole generation of music is a casualty.”

RDP: Kelp Day

***

I generously topped my toothbrush

The minty paste always a must.

Donned makeup smoothing cream

That softly adheres like a dream.

Dressed in latest fashion strong

Algiknit clothes is “coming along”.

After lunch, a taste of ice cream

Maple flavor, indeed a dream

On my further research found it was so deemed—

And realized these products begin in a stream!

These smooth products use kelp to make them so.

With a few new startups, the industry will grow.

I read kelp is healthy and even thrives abundantly

But each time I eat ice cream, I shiver unconsciously.

“He is no John Travolta”, at least that was the scuttlebutt going around among the rest of the contestants. “This is no monkey business” they quarreled, “this should be taken more seriously!”

Mikey ignored them. All those ballet lessons would surely pay off. The contest prize was a new home in the last Brazil rainforest that accepted his kind. The other forests had been disappearing at a horribly quick rate and his home had been destroyed.

Attitudes

This week’s Story Starter teaser is: IT WOULD BE EASY ENOUGH TO COME AWAY FROM THAT ENCOUNTER THINKING THAT…

all people with that attitude were ignorant and uninformed, but Joe knew better. Joe felt Mike was just succumbing to his new neighbor’s influence. He and Joe had grown up together in a small town and now they were both family men in the city. Life was very different and trying to maintain basic moral attitudes you grew up with was difficult. Mike’s spoken references were slightly inflammatory and Joe decided to have a quiet conversation with Mike after everyone else left the party.
