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.

The raven outside my window tapped on the glass twice before flying away. I grinned and opened the bag of treats that I’d been feeding them. I was relieved to see that there wasn’t another dime or button outside. After months of training, the ravens were finally giving proper gifts in exchange for the little morsels that I’d been leaving them. We finally understood each other.
For the second day in a row, I placed an eyeball into my little jar of alcohol. I smiled and waved to my next-door neighbor as he adjusted his eyepatch before going back inside.
Eddie D. Moore still lives within a few miles of the small Tennessee town where he was born, but he spends his free time exploring faraway worlds that only exist in his mind. If you desire more, I’d suggest picking up a copy of his mini-anthology Misfits & Oddities.
If you enjoyed this story you can find it and more in the Hawthorn & Ash anthology.
