Temptation Redemption
Resisting Microfiction
Introduction
I see the current Vocal Microfiction Challenge as a temptation to share a hundred words of mine. This is about the struggle to stop myself from writing another short-form story.
This villanelle is quite flippant about my desire not to write another microfiction story for the current Vocal challenge.
The music is "Temptation" by New Order

"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”

I love all your fiction and microfiction. You can write as many as you want and I would read it!
That's about how I feel! It's so difficult, when I'm used to writing thousands of words at a time, to create something so short. But I gave it three chances and I'll be satisfied with it. Truly a creative work, Mike!
Nicely written! Good job!
Hey! Great job! 😀
I barely understand how to write a short story. I am leaning towards micro fiction as a prose poem story… but still nothing
Awesome work❤️💯😉
Nicely done! Now I'm conflicted.
Impressive!!! Loving it!!!💖💖💕
Love it, especially since now I know what I'm looking for in a villanelle!
