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.
FATED
She was his, in a way no one else could touch. Not because he owned her, but because he understood her completely. Every flicker of fear, every sly defiance, and every laugh that barely hid the scars—he had seen them all. Still, he had stayed. The world could push, it could threaten… could even try to take her away from him, but it would never work. He was her anchor, her steady in the chaos she pretended didn’t exist. And when she let him close, let him in, it wasn’t possession. It was trust. Sacred, unshakable, and entirely his.
