Wendy checked the time. It had been a while. “Station Alpha to #Starship #Epsilon Five, #come in, status report please.” “Uh, yeah, Station Alpha, we might have gotten a bit lost.” Wendy was #nonplussed. “You got lost taking out the trash? That’s quite an #accomplishment.”

Posted on August 3, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under bravewrite, flexvss, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

Posted on August 3, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under VSS365

He chewed thoughtfully. “That’s an unusual #spice. I can’t quite tell what it is.” “A chef never reveals her secrets.” “It’s a pity you don’t eat meat. This is delicious.” She smiled. “Not too bitter then?” #vss365

Posted on August 3, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, briefly write, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

He sat #dazed as the #monster took out a stubby pencil and began to do #calculus on the back of a receipt. He’d been braced for an attack of #razor-sharp teeth and claws, but this was even more terrifying.
