Warm Welcome Womb
Of Forgiveness
Like two dark spirits waiting to meet, mate, and make me their own, a large jar of Benadryl© and a bottle of Pinot Grigio are no longer hidden behind the toilet paper under the sink in my bathroom. Their days of yearning to free me from the pain I can’t resolve are over, and their union is imminent. They want and desire only to take me home. So, with no trepidation, I allow them to possess me and my soul, as I slide beneath the scented bath bubbles, sinking into the warm, welcome womb of nothingness and hopefully forgiveness.

Betrayal
I am so very cold and wet. The freezing dampness surrounding me will not dissipate. Unable to shiver, it feels like my blood has drained from my body leaving me inert and unable to move, to breathe. I feel overwhelmed by the sticky heaviness of the drenched green velvet dress plastered against my legs, smeared with the mud I was dragged through.

Mom's Super Important Job
Once upon a time, there was this mother who was able to choose to be a stay-at-home mother to her little children. Some relatives and friends would call her one day and quiz her, saying, “So, you don’t have any workplace? What will you do the whole day?”

A nice dark story
Splendid!!! 💖💖💕
I am fascinated with the simplicity of the micro fictions. So much more work goes into telling a complete story than the word count suggests! Well done :)
I love the intimacy of this piece. Not a huge fan of writing micro-fiction, but this is a mixture of poetry and mirco. Love it.
This was literary gold!
Wow, so well don
Wow, this piece is Deep😉❤️
