Fiddlers
A Micro-Fiction Story
Henry and Joe relaxed in the cooling sands until a sudden, crushing weight thrust down upon them.
Trapped. No hope of escaping with their tiny limbs intact.
Except.
A horrendous scream rang out as Joe’s pincers found the soft flesh of a human ass.
The chaos that ensued sent the friends scurrying to outrun the naked female flailing heavy objects in their direction.
Finally safe in their underground burrow, Joe caught his breath and noticed Henry’s huge grin.
“What’s so funny?” he scowled.
“Well,” replied Henry “If she’s so afraid of crabs, she shouldn’t be fiddling with that guy.”

Descent
“60 seconds.” Aris tightened her grip on the overhead handhold. The troop transport shook like a leaf in a windstorm as it battled through the atmosphere. Dim lights flickered on and off as the ship’s systems were battered by pelting rain and narrowly dodged blasts from laser cannons on the surface of the planet.
