Sie sahen zu dem Hügel am Fluss hinüber, der mit großen und kleinen Blüten bedeckt war. "Sie haben wirklich gedacht, das Problem löst sich irgendwie von selbst." Sie hörten das Summen der Insekten aus der Entfernung. "Hat es dann ja auch." Sechzehn Arme schlangen sich umeinander und beide wechselten in ein zufriedenes Violett mit satten roten Tupfen. #Microfiction #SmallStories

owlsight, 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago) to random A small square of paper falls to the floor from the library book I’m holding. Small square letters, written in blue ink, someone’s forgotten list. Carnations Duct tape Gum Drops Salt I turn the paper over, there’s nothing on the back. Why would someone need this particular combination of items? For some reason, I’m thinking something nefarious is involved. I decide I’m being an idiot, and make the list my new bookmark. #MastoPrompt #list #smallstories @stevencudahy
