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.
ELARA’S CURSE
In the moonlit depths of the enchanted forest, Elara, a cursed unicorn, roamed in sorrow. Her once radiant horn was now darkened, tainted by a witch’s spell. She longed for love, but only shadows kept her company. One fateful night, she met Linden, a dark witch drawn to her despair. Despite his malevolent past, he saw the purity in her eyes and vowed to break her curse. Their love blossomed amidst darkness, an impossible bond. Together, they defied fate, merging light and shadow. In their union, the forest whispered tales of a love that transcended even the darkest magic.
Ever Avarice is an Australian Dark Paranormal and Reverse Harem Romance author who loves books and believes there’s magic even in the darkest of places.

REM
He’s dead.
How do I know? It’s obvious.
The taut skin covering his face is ash gray, stands out against the whiteness of the pillow. His mouth is slightly open, but no breath comes from between his dry lips. His frail chest does not rise or fall.
If I pressed my fingers against his wrist, I wouldn’t feel a pulse. No fog would settle on the mirror held to his nostrils.
Despite all of this, under tightly closed eyelids, his eyes are making rapid movements.
As I straighten his sheets, I wonder if he ever dreams about me.
