My sister and I were both trained witch doctors. We got our training from our mother. Our powers weren’t real, but our mother taught us that if people believed our powers were real, people would heal themselves. Yes, we made a profit but we were also helping people. I was walking down the street to the witchcraft supply store when I tripped and broke my leg. “Help, can someone call me an ambulance,” I shouted. “I know you, I’ll call your sister,” someone said. My sister came, but her spells couldn’t heal my leg because I knew they were fake.

I Didn’t Fit In
I didn’t fit in at school. They made me feel like a fool. They thought I was a tool. They were so cruel. They’d call me names and push me around, they’d treat me differently and I’d hide and couldn’t be found. They’d bully me and push me to the ground. One day someone finally invited me to sit next to them and it felt good to have a friend. I no longer had to pretend. He would defend me, and it was easier to blend! I didn’t care what the others said, the end. Defend people who are bullied!

Kanye West Saves the World
I think it was when Kanye West became an atheist that the world started to change. Nobody saw it coming really. He kept the Sunday Choir, but had them sing only secular music. Then, he declared himself the living reincarnation of Michael Jackson and bought the rights to all his own music, immediately removing it from every streaming service and music outlet, no more streaming, no more CDs, no more Vinyl. All that remained of his music was what people had managed to save or pirate. And then, two months later, he dropped fifteen albums back-to-back of all new secular music, all of it fantastic. And the new clothesline was out of this world.

Whoaaa. This was deep. But this is how psychology works. Brilliant story!
A world and a twist all in 100 words! This microstory was brilliant. Just started pondering what I'll write.
