Micro Fiction Stories

As with our Flash Fiction category, the aim of micro fiction is to tell a complete story within a limited number of words.

Where Flash Fiction generally ranges from 100 to 1000 words, Micro Fiction submissions should be under 100 words and can cover any of the fiction genres.

Importance of a Name

Every name has a meaning and importance to them.

I firmly believe names are very important and hold special meanings, including usernames. Names represent who a person is as an individual person. Epicellie was my former username. Most people do not recognize me now with my new username, Cora. In Latin,...

The Big Game

Last time I visited an old friend, I got drawn into a card game…

Taking her seat at the table, she kissed the deck for luck before handing them back to me. Nervously, I dealt the cards as she calmly gathered her cards into an orderly stack in front of her. Poker-faced, she slipped her first card face-up onto the table....

Tax return

The best things in life are free! Eventually, the government will find a way to tax it!...

This morning, I received a letter from those lovely people down at the income tax office. They wrote to inform me, that my income tax return form was outstanding! Funny, I don’t even remember filling out a tax return form, let alone filling it out neatly!

Wikipedia says that A1 is a sauce. So we are under attack by a sauce? Which is short for Sausalito, a city in California. What does a steak sauce have to do with Artificial Intelligence? Can it spell Mississippi? I tried talking to a bottle of A1 and got...

How Many Partners?

Never ask a question you don’t want to know the answer to!

Although we’ve been together for a number of years, my other half is irritatingly obsessed with trying to find out about my past relationships and how many partners I’ve had. Always fishing and asking questions about my past, drives me insane! When questi...

The Island

Their yearly trip to the island always soothes her soul.

The heat was staggering as she climbed the steps to the third level of the ferry that would take her to the island. Relief came as a cool breeze off the water once the vessel started moving. Freedom was across this lake; the closer she got, the sweeter it...

It was love at first sight for me. The minute I saw her, I knew I wanted her. Her curves drove me crazy. She could stand out in any crowd. Alas, like most young men, I soon got bored and wanted to move on. It wasn’t long before I started jumping from one...

We have finally reached the twenty-first century. What a time to be alive! I never speak to my neighbours, and they don’t speak to me. An old lady, who lived down the road, died in her apartment and wasn’t discovered for three months. The city streets, on...

Tomato Ketchup

Wine or Ketchup?

Hate those restaurants, where you have to taste the wine before accepting the bottle! Last time I went on a posh dinner date, I ordered Filipino-style roast pork belly! As the waitress served our meal, I couldn’t help noticing there was no ketchup on the...

Gone

Taking the sun, the moon, the stars and every thing good in me.

I am sitting with my morning coffee. My girl walks in and says "it's over." And just like that, she is gone. I watch from our kitchen window as she drives away. Taking the sun, the moon, the stars, and anything inside of me that is good. I am left a shell...

Lockdown Skills

How to survive the office Zoom meeting.

One of my friends asked me how I kept myself occupied during last year's Coronavirus lockdown? She asked if I had used my time wisely to study or teach myself new skills? The most important thing I learnt was how to drink wine from a coffee mug while taki...

Cyber-criminals

Finding traffic lights to prove I’m not a robot.

Last month, I paid my electricity bill over the phone using one of those automated payment systems. First, I was prompted to tap in answers to various security questions, including my password and the first and fourth number of my PIN. Then, to prove I’m...
