Lillian's Last Laugh
Microfiction Magic Challenge Entry
Lillian was awkward.
Harmless, though.
Or so her peers thought.
They regularly made fun of her quirks and traits.
She laughed it off.
They often stole her lunch without asking and enjoyed hearing her stutter her objections.
Lillian didn’t mind, though.
The next time they laid their thieving hands on her sandwiches and ate them like starved pigs, she just smiled.
The smile turned to laughter as Lillian watched them choking and falling to the floor.
People really need to take more care when choosing what to eat, especially when they belong to a clinical toxicologist.

Reset your password. Three words that mean either you have forgotten your password, you have given it to someone else and don’t want to allow them access to that particular account anymore or someone has cracked your password and is using your account without permission. That’s what we’re all worried about, isn’t it? Or at least that’s what we should be worried about. But most of us aren't.

>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?
