Dead End Jewelry Heist
200-word microfiction
Four guys were heading for an important heist. They were dressed as dreadful clowns and were headed for the Archeological Museum. Their mission was to steal the largest diamond necklace ever found at an archeological dig. Previously, they had visited the museum for a week to be sure that they knew how to enter, steal the necklace, and exit without any interruptions. There was only one night watchman who usually slept through his watch since there was never any trouble. They had found a way to enter through the basement where they disconnected the electricity and alarm system. Then they snuck up behind the slumbering night watchman and gave him a heavy knock on the head. Working like a well-oiled machine the four guys smashed the glass case holding the diamond necklace. Making sure they left no clues or fingerprints they bagged their prize. They were looking forward to celebrating their perfect heist with some cold brews. They carefully stepped over the unconscious night watchman who lay on the floor. Once they left the museum they headed down the dark alley beside the museum. There was no sound, wearing big grins suddenly they were facing two policemen with guns drawn.

Most Frightening Reality
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn’t my own. This thought greatly disturbed and frightened Kathy. She had just purchased the antique mirror from an antique shop in Boston, Massachusetts. She and her husband lived in a townhouse where she worked at home on a computer running her own business. Her husband worked for an advertising agency. She had long wanted to get a framed full-length mirror so that she could see how she looked when dressed to go out. That day she had been in the city center and happened to see the mirror through the shop window of an antique store. She had bought it and two men had just delivered it and placed it in a corner of the bedroom near the dresser.

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”

Red Shelves
Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
