Gone Fishing
Anyone who knows me will tell you I will use 337 words instead of the two needed whilst chatting, especially if a bit manic (I have bipolar) so I am challenging myself to write stories that are complete under 50 words. Here is my first attempt.

Joker: Folie à Deux jumps profound into the curved mind of Gotham's most famous lowlife, conveying a chilling and interesting investigation of franticness, society, and the idea of malevolence.

The Crumbling Walls. Top Story - June 2024. Content Warning.
*Contains Spice She knew kissing him was wrong. Every stolen moment chipped against the wall of alliances that Mother created to protect their land. The parentage of their daughter was more than enough to destroy the wall completely and unleash the full might of the Uhitaji clan. But as he pressed her against a small corner wall on the battlements, none of that mattered. His hand slid down her wide hip as their lips danced in unity. She wrapped her leg around his waist pulling him even closer. Their shared heat burned the world around them to nothing. There was nothing else, nothing left but them.

The Creature
He couldn’t help himself. He sat, admiring the creature as it danced around him, remaining hidden under the shadows of the trees. Skittish but curious, it glided among the bushes, circling the man who sat in an open patch under the bright moonlight, hoping for a glimpse. The creature emanated a loud humming sound, vibrating the surrounding forest. The man felt it too. A sweet, calming sensation reaching his feet and climbing to his head, like his whole body lost circulation. He let himself fall over, unable to feel his limbs as if he were just a brain. He giggled, lying on his back, staring up at the ocean of stars and the bright moon.

He turned to the white board to make a note.
