The Troll Knoll Hole
A tongue-twister satirical take on the Microfiction Magic Challenge.
There was a troll who lived in a hole. A hole in a knoll. The troll demanded a toll. A toll from those who passed over the knoll. His goal was to buy another hole. Another hole in another knoll. A second knoll hole for a second knoll toll.
The troll took a stroll. The troll spoke with Mole, who also had a knoll. They spoke about a recent knoll real estate poll that showed a decline in knoll hole ownership. This was taking its toll.
While the local knoll authorities came and filled the troll knoll hole.

The Tragedy of Melissa and Doug
Melissa and Doug sat across from each other. In the same chairs they had sat for many years. Many decades even. A whole lifetime they had spent, sat across from one another. Any measure of love either had for the other had dissipated long ago.

Atonement
On the longest day of the year, a town revives an ancient solstice ritual and discovers its unexpected power. The media saturation around the eclipse was total. The news warned of driving during the eclipse. Local residents looking to make some extra cash were renting out their houses to strangers as people were traveling to see the eclipse that featured the diamond ring during totality. Billed as a once in a lifetime event, t-shirts commemorating the event were everywhere. Towns and villages had arranged for mass viewings in their town square, and the news proclaimed that in years gone by, viewers could get very emotional, even spiritual during an eclipse.

I read this out loud and can’t stop laughing 😆
Hahahaha this was brilliant!
Not so much tongue- as mind-twister, leaving us in a state where either local knoll authorities will require the filling of this hole it's left behind in my cranium, or a troll I fear will take up residence.
Ha HA! Quite clever and fun to read!
