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.
OF SALT AND SORROW
The sea called her home with a sweet siren song. Once, she’d traded her voice for legs and love at first sight. But the prince’s heart was never hers. No. It belonged to the mundane world above, the one that made her bleed and mocked her silence.
Now she stood on the shore. Her dress tattered, lips blue, while the ocean whispered her true name.
And when she stepped forward, into the cold embrace of waves that remembered her. Scales bloomed where flesh had been, and power thrummed through her veins.
Love had drowned her once. Now it was her turn to drown the world.
