Should I?
The Dawn of Humanity: A Kayleigh Fraser Unofficial challenge
Wonder… delight… ignite, explode within! Magenta, cyan, yellows swirl… Euphrates joins her three quicksilver sisters… rushing past my ambling feet. Havilah‘s golden nuggets rest alongside onyx. Luscious fruit drips exquisite nectar... cottonwool lambs frolic with frisky lion cubs. All mine to enjoy… except… eyes linger; hand outstretched… just one bite?

Author’s Note: I hope it’s obvious that the Bible’s Garden of Eden is this story’s context!
Written for: The Story of Humanity, Kayleigh Fraser Unofficial challenge (50 words exactly).
I first learnt of the challenge while reading JBaz’s story (see below) & was inspired by it.

Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.

The Spirit Box (2)
Chapter 2: Twin Robbers I got to work and took a deep breath. I discreetly took out the spirit box and inhaled John so I could convince the chief I felt great. I walked to chief’s office and asked the chief what the assignment was for today.
