I think I've heard of micro stories before, but I don't think I've seen them written like this. At first, I thought that this was a haiku. Pulled out my finger counters and realized that it wasn't.

But now, I'm in the mood for a haiku (@flashfiction is such a tease), so here goes:
Give me your story
And I will lend you my soul.
Words build emotion.

I really like the idea of a super short story. When I write, I prefer being concise because when I read, I hate going through 14 pages that describe a single item (I'm talking to you Stephen King). It can be written wonderfully (again, I'm talking to you Stephen King), but I just get bored. My imagination can handle the details, just give me the skeleton.
This skeleton was pretty great. It would be unfair to muddy your interpretation with my own in this body, but maybe it would be fun to do in the comments.
So thank you @flashfiction for sharing something pretty cool. I look forward to following you and seeing more!

Hi @andre.davis I see you are using 100% power up option. You might not want to do that. I wrote a detailed post explaining why, you should read it.

thank me later ;)
Thanks for the advice. I replied to your post.
Thank you! Yeah, i love writing micro stories (Have been doing it for some years, i got thousands already), because of the potential and flexibility they have.
This little tiny stories are just perfect for the Internet. No time consuming, concise, flexible, dramatic and portable. If you check my profile, i have some of them adapted into one-page comics, but i also have image mugs, text t-shirts, even paintings based on them!
And, man, that is all kinds of awesome.
Anyway, i also write longer stories, but i always have brevity on my mind. Give me just a minute o two, i think, and i will give you something to feel today. :)
Thank you very much!
