Welcome to this week’s installment of many micro stories, ranging in length from 100 words to 500 words.
With each story we hope to deliver a little whimsy into the lives of our readers.
Idore
Idore. He murmured her name as he dreamed.
She’d left four days ago, and he hadn’t heard from her. Had she taken her spell bag? He couldn’t find it in the cabin.
After a restless sleep, he went outside. The sun was rising; it looked like a nice day. He put on gloves and started digging in the garden.
He heard her voice on the wind–she was back! He looked up at the sky, but to his horror, she was walking.
“Where are your wings?!” he cried.
She shrugged off his concern.
“I don’t need magic to be happy.”
