Hired

Posted on August 10, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under bravewrite, flexvss, microfiction, VSS365

“How was the job interview?” “It was…odd. They had me calculate the volume of a #torus, sing an #aria, and recite Hamlet’s soliloquy #backwards.” “Wow, sorry!” “No, I start Monday. I’m excited.”

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.”

Thirsty

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

She’d said to #wait for her on the #balcony, but the #number of minutes stretched into hours. He took a sip from the abandoned champagne flute on the little table to #quench his thirst. It was the last thing he did.

The Spice of Life and Death

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

Monster Math

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.

Calculation of Love

Posted on July 27, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, bravewrite, flexvss, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

“Sam’s a #strong candidate for my first #kiss,” Ruthie mused. “He’s #mastered the use of dental floss, so there won’t be a yuck factor in my #nostalgic recollections.” “He seems to like you, so I bet he’ll cooperate,” Deb #speculated.

Don’t Send in the Clowns

Posted on July 27, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under bravewrite, microfiction, VSS365

“What’s your #phobia? I can’t stand heights.” “Oh, I don’t really have anything like that,” he mumbled. He hoped she hadn’t noticed his #subtle glance away. He didn’t want to discuss the clowns.

Exorcism, Step One

Posted on July 25, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, flexvss, horror, microfiction, VSS365

“Just #write down the instructions!” “But #exorcism is more art than science, dear. It wouldn’t be a #kindness to give false hope.” “Thomas, you won’t live forever, you know, and then where will we be?” “Not to worry, I’ve got a deal in the works.”

The Procedure

Posted on July 25, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under bravewrite, briefly write, horror, mentalhealthprompts, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

After #crawling through a #tangle of #ivy, he emerged in a clearing. He brushed dirt and cobwebs from his suit and set his old-fashioned medical bag on the #tomb. “This is where we’ll do the #exorcism then?” The approaching screams told him his patient was near.

Errand Gods

Posted on July 24, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under fantasy, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

“We’re running low on ambrosia, and there’s no #nectar in the #house. Honestly, Zeus!” “I know, dear, I meant to run to the store, but I got distracted.” Hera rolled her eyes. “Another damn human? Well, get going, and pick up my prescription while you’re at it.”
