“Leave”: A SciFanSat Microfiction Compilation

Alone she sat—#mysterious girl, pale & blonde.
New to our occult group & oddly dressed as an Angel, I asked her why:
She showed me 2 scars on her shoulder blades. “I was one.” She said. I knew then, I’d never #leave her, tho I was a demon myself. #vss365 #scifansat #Satsplat

Four palanquin bearers carried a #mysterious woman and her cat through the city gates. You are free to go, but to leave is to never return, the armed gatekeeper said as she removed the cat's collar. #scifansat #vss365

It was a a perfect planet for shore leave. They marveled at the blue sky and natural beauty, filled their lungs with the invigorating air. Then Harris went missing. They heard a scream for help as he was carried away by a dragon. #SciFanSat #leave

There is an angel on my shoulder who whispers advice in my ear. He isn’t very helpful. He died thousands of years ago and finds the modern world mysterious. I wish he would just leave me alone #vss365 #SciFanSat #Satsplat

on reflection
unsure what we're queuing for
through these mirrored halls

we all wear
mysterious smiles
as though in the know

if I had a clue
how I came to be
here naked
I'd ask if I could leave please
don't know who#ScifaikuSaturday#vss365tbt #vss365 #SciFanSat

She'd #leave #mysterious notes. "I'll return in your dreams." "The moon will call for you." "Don't be afraid of the moonlight kiss." We just thought our mum was poetic & this was her way of showing love. But then she disappeared and now strange dreams haunt us. #vss365 #SciFanSat

I’m leaving on a space plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh Babe, please don’t say you’ll wait as you grow old

Every place I go, I will dream of you
Every star I chart, I will name for you
But Babe, these relativistic speeds won’t let me come home#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt

Bloodshot eyes. Dirty and disheveled. He offers help with my stalled car. I'm scared and almost refuse. In the end, he is a perfect gentleman, refusing my cash. His eyes morph, glowing in the dark.

The crowd cowered as a #mysterious mechanical shape clunked to a stop in front of me.

I could see that it was operated from inside and I smiled as I fondly remembered the wizard in Oz.

But, unlike Dorothy, I had the feeling I would not be allowed to leave. #vss365 #SciFanSat

Everything was as she remembered – the bedspread, the posters, the strains of ‘#Mysterious Girl’ just audible from the garden.
From outside, the doorknob rattled and she heard her own voice say, “Are you in my room again? I’m telling Mom.”
Time to #leave. #vss365 #SciFanSat

These brutal years#Leave me stretched thin
A #mysterious spectre that now
Stretches my skin

Porcelain fragility
Teasing decay from the din
Time has stretched these bones
And I break from within#vss365 #SciFanSat

“We thought we were goners when our navigation failed, but fate delivered us to this #mysterious planet. We should not be able to breathe, yet we can. We do not grow old or take ill. Why would we ever leave?”

“Well, we can’t. We’re dead, you fool.”#SciFanSat #vss365

The reservoir tantalized the local youth. Cool and shaded even during the hottest days. A mysterious current ruffled its surface.

Only years later, after none of them had been able to leave their town, did they realize the reservoir had swallowed their souls.#vss365 #SciFanSat

All the #elements came together quickly once the #warrior #mage laced together the spell. As they
floated down the valley to #leave, there was a huge detonation. Nothing but #wreckage remained. #SciFanSat #Scififri #2WordPrompt #vss365 pic.twitter.com/y4ejxl2kiN

It had been a great hike. "Oh, look at the sign," I said. "We should #leave."

"Why? It doesn't say turn around. Maybe there is something #mysterious ahead."

I looked at him. "Like what?"

That's when I see his eyes. Red – and looking at me.#vss365#satsplat#scifansat#vsspic pic.twitter.com/0dLwJsgZY5

It's so #mysterious, I don't understand why he had to #leave. Packed up his #star #chart, and went in the middle of the night, saying he didn't feel #safe.

We're all safe. The government soldiers tell us every night as they lock us in…#vss365 #vssmagic #2WordPrompt #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/24KqlM26Ig

The night she died I began seeing angels. Everywhere. Some mornings the skies were full, their radiance reflecting the sun. They'd follow me, fluttering like gossamer moths.
Then they began leaving—a few each day—till they were gone. The world became colder.#scifansat#Satsplat

— John Everex (@EverexJohn) May 7, 2022

Then I saw a figure, like unto a man with wings of jasper and amethyst and a suit of polyester, and in his hand a microphone, and he spoke: "Happy are they who leave this false choice of angels or demons! Happy are they who vote third party!"#satsplat #BadWordSat #scifansat

#SciFanSat
The visitor discussed his objective: he was one of the chosen.
Waking up he found a #mysterious chart on his bed the destination a star he recalled from what he deemed a dream.
An orphan, to #leave behind everything was easy. No one would miss him.#vss365#2WordPrompt
