Curious Minds
For Kayleigh Fraser's Micro-fiction challenge
It feels like the world rejects what we’re doing. The intense shaking and the fire. I should’ve been sipping tea and relaxing, but who am I kidding... we are explorers. Humanity's ultimate curiosity. Are we alone?
We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.

A letter
2 days to prom… Dear Ines, You know very well that I am not fond of this silly idea, writing a letter to your future self. I was made to believe that talking to oneself is an idea that earns one the term ‘crazy’, much less paper and ink being wasted on a letter. Why, then, you may ask, am I on my bed in a sobbing wreck wasting the very ink and paper in scribbling these words. Well, one of the many reasons is heart break… as stupid as it may sound.

Great story… I often wonder how inventions were developed or discovered… like electricity etc… curiosity of brilliant minds.
Mohammed, I've gone for a similar vibe with mine but I think yours says it better!
Oooo, that was soooo deep! Loved your take on this challenge!

Yes! Where would we be today without curiosity? Nice micro, Mohammed!
Such an apt theme for right now! I hadn’t thought about this angle at all ☺️ Nicely done 👌
