Another Fairytale

Photobucket 

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Tools, the Loom King ordered all girls in his kingdom be burned in the square. For a termite had told him that on her 18th birthday, his Spinning-wheel daughter would prick her spindle on the finger of a human girl and die.

    No Sam - it's not a typo that's the way it's meant to be. It's the crux of the story.

    Fantastic. I'm new to MicroFic, but I love your blog. I'm thinking of writing a serialized micro-fic with each episode being 50-150 or so words.

    Thank you S. Roberts :)

    I have very strict notion of what micro-fiction 'is' and what it isn't - I know though that there is a school of writers who would count 150-slot word 'series' as microfiction.

    I personally feel that microfiction requires a self-contained, stand-alone story, otherwise it may be fiction, AWESOME fiction, etc, but it won't be MICRO fiction if it exists as a brick within a larger wall.

    wow, every one of these stories is highly creative. Kudos. Terrific stuff. This one seems particularly misunderstood - a lack of grounding in classic fairy tale vocabulary is to blame, I suppose.
