The Edge
100-word micro fiction story
The gentle slope at the top of the cliff suddenly plunged down to the sea below. White tipped waves boiled over the dark rocks that poked up like blunt knives.
The small girl spotted a bright blue flower halfway down the slope. She was carefully climbing down towards the flower, holding on to an overhanging vine, when its roots suddenly gave way.
She felt herself rolling towards the edge of the drop and grabbed out at a small plant growing nearby. It held. She cautiously climbed back up the slope using plants and embedded rocks as foot and hand holds.

Magic mirrors and dancing lights
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn’t my own. My face was an alien landscape of fluid-filled blisters, each with a dent in the centre. The pustules were layered, one on top of another giving my normally wrinkled brown skin the hideous look of mud trampled into erratic pieces by desperate animals at the height of a drought.

Esoteric Lust
A statue of a woman, especially if she is naked, may be spared in times of upheaval, unless men, pricks par excellence, become dumber than usual, or time chips away pieces of her grandeur. There is nothing more beautiful than a beautiful woman, except perhaps a tree bearing fruit or standing erect like a good prick. There are no good pricks as far as I know, but I will pretend that there are at least two, although one of them seems to be dying from loneliness after having discovered that almost everything taught is a lie repeated enough times to become a truth. Lies abound like the stars in a moonless night.
