Mid-Week Muses: “You inherit a lesser world for my deed.”

mwm_pngA weekly compilation of collected microfictions composed by yours truly. If your time is short, these are shorter!

Twisting a dial, the 
prototype anti-gravity
belt made him weightless.
Floating up, he joined
his sister.

"You're a genius!"

"Bud, we can do this
the easy way, or the
hard-"

A cue stick whacked
his face. 

The orc shrugged off
the blow. "Okay. The
hard way." 

With a greasepaint grin,
the Big Shoe Posse thug
aimed his gun. Clair's 
electrified tackle made
his rainbow wig stand
on end. 

White furred and pink
eyed,Mitzi hugged the
doctor's legs as the
lab door closed.

"Papa!"

"How is my miracle
today?" he smiled. 

The timequake ended. Lyn
was then playing Xbox on
the bed with Tom. The
kids laughed: She wasn't
his babysitter, she was
his friend.

"Where's Fran?" the doctor 
asked. 

Wet and naked, the twin 
girls cried. "The drug 
didn't make her young! It 
made us by mitosis!" 

He pulled his sword
from the dragon's
corpse, regretful eyes
upon the child he'd
saved. 

"You inherit a lesser
world for my deed."

"So he's a ninja... that
can walk through walls
AND teleport!?"

"Yeah. Pretty much," Clair
nodded.

"We're in trouble, aren't
we?"
