Mid-Week Muses: “Words are Magic, and Those That Weave Them Well are Wizards”

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

and those that weave
them well are wizards."

 
"He thinks he's in

Harold turned on the

Asil blinked. "How'd—"

"Extradimensional pockets."

"Now THAT'S a power!"

Titania brushed the
physicist's cheek. "You

his closet to Aneko and
her Sunday morning in
Hokkaido. His Saturday

behind him.

Fluid gushed as it escaped
the plastic maturation bag.
Turning rows of hungry eyes
to the scientists, it's
first steps followed.
