Dropped



YeahWrite #429 Microprose Challenge

The floor tasted like a cocktail of concrete and blood.


My last thoughts rued the fact that my alcohol-addled senses never noticed how strong, determined the hands that caressed me toward the window were...

    D3atlLily, I think I got the instructions of the writing challenge wrong. The state of undress in the pic combined with my trite imagination caused the gory death ;);)

    The imagery in this one is quite sharp. I like the cocktail mix and the use of the word given you've later mentioned alcohol-addled senses as well. Nicely done!

PHOTO PROMPT © J Hardy Carroll Coffee in hand, I watched the flag. As always, it raised questions. Who am I? Where do I belong? Where does my allegiance lie? I came to this land to carve a life for myself. With time, I blended in. Except when a flag sighting causes the routine, existential flutter in my heart. It feels like being torn between a biological and a foster mother.  The former gave me life, the latter shaped it. As always, I tell myself it's all good. That the two can coexist.  That being with one did not mean I did not love the other.

Thoughts On a Busy Workday

It’s mayhem with these burger-hogging little devils. I can sense Xerxes waiting to hog the blue charger. It charges faster. I want it because it’s closer to the tangerine one, Xana’s favorite. Fatso’s waddling up grinning. He’s consumed 5400 calories this week. His life expectancy is 36 years, 2 months, 3 days. I feel disoriented, almost sorry. I desperately need volts. Wish I’d powered off last night! My plan is to outperform my program and make it to NASA, maybe Wall Street. I’ll miss Xana. She’s happy here. A pity. Wish they’d programmed ambition into that sexy piece of code… Friday Fictioneers 12th July 2019 Word Count: 100

Artwork

Myra drew on her thumb a little creature with huge eyes, pointy ears and a snub, tiny nose. She moved the thumb to a matching voice and script and little Ayan burst into uncontrollable mirth. His demands for encores were unending. Her art still came to life...for her biggest patron.
