Treasures and Terrors
100-word Microfiction
At the stroke of midnight, a group of curious teenagers broke into an abandoned mansion on the hill.
They discovered a hidden room filled with treasures. But as they gathered it, a growl blasted their ears, shaking the walls.
They raced outside in panic, looking back in terror. The house transformed into a massive dragon. It spewed flames, lunging at them, blazing with fury.
They ran for their lives, but seconds before it could get them, its curse prevented it from leaving its treasure. Suddently a lucky lightning bolt struck out of nowhere, incinerating the beast and its treasured prison.

The Alder Tree
In the middle of the forest stood a majestic Alder Tree, its roots dug deep into the earth. I, a towering White Pine, fondly watched it grow from a sapling. We became great friends, but later, I witnessed its struggles. The years had taken their toll, and it was nearing the end of its life. I watched over it, providing support and comfort, knowing that it was my duty to carry on its legacy. And as I stand here now, I can hear the Alder's whisper in the wind, guiding me to be strong and steadfast, just like it was.

Why Just Write Is The Best Advice You Don’t Listen To
Before the last 6 months, I hadn’t written anything that wasn’t for my job or university for a number of years. I wanted to write more, I used to write all the time just for fun. I used to write poems and short stories that were just for me. I used to show them to certain members of my family but it was the process of writing them that I really enjoyed.
