Brief histories
For Kayleigh Fraser's micro challenge
I wrote two pieces for this challenge to write a fifty word history of the world or humanity, as I realised that the piece I had was all about fear, though it is not itself frightening, and I didnt want Kayleigh to feel she had to read it. So I have provided a buffer piece too.
Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron…. Good God would you look at that! Little itsy bitsy lifey stuff. So cuoooote. What the blazes? Oh ok. Legs there, some wings, all good, all good. Bit creepy. Just gonna focus on good sparkley rocks…. Ugly one broke my rocks!

“I…”
“You disagree?”
“Dissent is dangerous?”
“For me or you?”
