Shapeshifting princess showed a tome to her daughter. "Remember the blue dragon who greeted you once?", she asked, "They wrote this tome." The princess leafed the tome and showed a page to her daughter, "See? It has my true name in it. That alone would make this tome precious to me. I appreciate that dragon greatly." The daughter looked at her with eyes wide, "You know all the coolest creatures in this world."

"You deleted your planet?" asked Azrafel. "Can't you restore if from a backup?"
"I haven't backed up since the Mesozoic Era!" Ariel wailed. "I was on the verge of civilization! Domesticated crops! Cities! All gone!"
"Well," said Azrafel, "it's not so bad. Dinosaurs are pretty cool...."
Ariel was not mollified. "Dinosaurs can't worship you, Azrafel. I was set to become a god...."
"A god," noted Azrafel, "who forgets to back up his work...."

I take a few ragged breaths. The Void waits, patiently, in case I need to shout some more.
"I'm sure you've heard that before," I say.
- yes
"Actually, are there things people have stopped shouting about?"
- smallpox, the hole in the ozone layer
"Huh."
- and most gods

"You wish me to summon and bind a water spirit to operate your new drawbridge?"
"Indeed!" exclaimed Duke Ruben. "We were hoping you could donate your spellwork for free."
Medea raised an eyebrow. "Why would I do that?"
"Everyone will marvel that Medea the sorceress created this wonder! Think of the exposure!"
"I think," she said, "that transforming you to a frog would net me equal exposure, yes?"
The duke swallowed hard. "Is 1,000 gold guilders good?"

The swordsmith inhaled sharply.
"Is it bad?" the Hero asked.
"This blade can't be repaired."
"But it's the Blade of Fate!"
"Sorry."
"It's destined to help me kill the Dark Lord!"
"Old Runsy?"
"Runsy?"
"I went to school with him. Did you know he's mortally allergic to cats?"

"The advantage is a new life in a new world. You choose who you will become."
"And the disadvantages?"
"You leave your old life behind -- your friends, family... and memories. You won't recall who you were."
He was old, with few friends. A new start was enticing. He signed the paperwork, and stepped through the gateway... and into bright sunlight.
She froze. What had she been thinking? Memories drifted then vanished like morning mist. She could not recall.

'Okay, where is it?' I asked the night fairy. 'Where's the story idea you're supposed to bring me?'
She averted my gaze. 'There were no seeds for me to eat.'
I gently poked her pudgy belly. 'Wasn't it more like there was no room left to eat one after you ate my piece of strawberry cake?'
She shuffled her feet. 'But the one you made was just too tasty.'
I sighed. 'Fine. Bring me an idea tomorrow, and I will give you another piece.'
She perked up at once. 'It's a promise!'

Xox found Zya at the center of the dig. "What have you discovered?"
"Video records," Zya replied. "Documentation of their culture! This one is a story from an ancient war."
Xox watched the projection slab. "Mesmerizing," they said.
"I have been watching for three hours," stated Zya.
"We have duties..." began Xox, but then fell silent.
The video finished. Another began. "I could watch all day," said Xox.
"Yes," replied Zya. "They called this... Youtube."

I forgot to do an #introductions post when I moved here, so here goes.
I am O. Westin, a #writer of #MicroFiction, mostly #ScienceFiction and #fantasy #fiction, and occasional #poetry. My stories are generally less than 280 characters long.
No set schedule, stories are written and posted when inspiration strikes.
I am LGBTQIA+ positive, and usually favour wholesome and hope over darkness and edgy nihilism.

I've been using this account as my primary for about a week now, and I'm think I'm settled on using it for the foreseeable future, so I guess it's time to do another #introduction post.
I'm a dad of four kids, and a web developer. I have a college degree in #Theater (or #Theatre) and had aspirations of being an actor. I kind of fell into web development as a career. It was a hobby back in high school, and I just needed to pay some bills after college, so I ended up doing this.
I always have aspirations to do other things, but for now, I'm pretty happy spending most of my time as a dad and husband.
Some day, I'd like to get back into #acting, or maybe do some #VoiceActing. I also enjoy #writing and will, from time to time, post some #MicroFiction, usually from somebody's #WritingPrompt.
I love #StarTrek, and usually watch at least one episode nearly every day. I like all #SciFi really, though, as well as #fantasy. I used to read a lot, but find I don't have as much time or mental capacity for it as I used to. I also enjoy watching #anime, and have really been enjoying the new episodes of #Bleach lately.
Feel free to follow me if you think we have similar interests, and I may follow you back, if I think likewise. 👋

"You've freed me," declared the small winged lady emerging from the ornate bottle I'd recently purchased at a spooky garage-sale from the gothic manor at the end of the lane, "What wish may I grant?"
I thought long and hard, while also struggling with the fact magic was either real or I had lost my mind.
"I wish," I finally decided as she nibbled my leftover pizza crust, "That my kitchen drawers never become jammed."
It's been great.
