Microfiction: Cooking and Cleaning

Six-Word Story:

"Somebody's cooking downstairs. They'll be delicious."

A Nice Mask

Two Sentence Story:

"We the people that are left of the United States, in order to form a more healthy Union, establish these cleansing zones. May God forgive us for what were are about to do."

Cleansing

Author's Note:

Yay Microfictions again! I don't really think that I'm very good at writing these. Most of them just feel kind of unoriginal when I compare them to other microfictions. But, I enjoy writing them all the same! Honestly, I find that the six-word stories are the hardest and that the two-sentence stories are probably the easiest of all of our options. When it came to these two stories, the first was partially inspired by all the time I've spent in the kitchen recently. Both stories were also inspired by the unnecessarily high amount of Fallout 4 I've been playing as well. I hope you enjoyed these and feel free to comment on criticisms or thoughts below!

Hobbies, Hopes, and... I'm Out of H Words || An Introduction

Everyone keeps telling me to change my major... Welcome to the blog! My name is Rhys and I am a senior Psychology major! When I'm not scrambling to complete my degree, I work as a 3D printing student specialist for OU Libraries and as a lab assistant for the OU Visual Neuroscience Laboratory. I'm looking forward to graduating this summer after a study abroad trip to Scotland. Move In Day! When I'm not at work or school, I spend my time entertaining a variety of hobbies including programming, circuit building, 3D art, animation, and design, 3D printing, video production, visual effects, and cooking! I spend quite a lot of time working on all of these things, which has led to a running joke among my family and friends that I declared the wrong major. 3D World Animation I'm always looking to learn new skills. I honestly love learning and school. In fact, I plan on pursuing a career in academia as a psychology researcher. Essentially, I plan on never ...

Week 2 Story: The Lawyer, the Plaintiff, and the Innocent?

The Lawyer, the Plaintiff, and the Innocent? "Mr. Brahms, please tell the jury how you came to meet the defendant." "Well...it was a Saturday a couple months ago. I was working late at the hospital...maybe 10:00 or 11:00? When I left work, I was walking down the sidewalk to our parking garage when I saw Mr. Tigris lying facedown on the concrete." "What happened then, Mr. Brahms?" "I....I walked up to him to check to see if he was okay. I approached and shook his shoulder to see if he was conscious. When I did, he started moaning and groaning like he was in pain. I tried to see if he was injured..." "Now, Mr. Brahms, you are a medical professional, correct?" "That's right. I'm a nurse." "So you would have been able to fairly easily identify any physical wounds on the defendant?" "Yes, I believe I would be." "But you did not find any on the defendant?" "No, I did not...

Microfiction: Snow and Sadness

Short stories require big effort... 140-Character Story: It Bites So difficult. So painful. The snow, the wind, and the cold all bite. But not as bad as those wolves. Run faster and leave the others behind. Wolf and Snow 280-Character Story: See Them Again In the normal course of events, I would've been delighted to see my mother. Always loving and caring. I really miss her. And here she is in front of me. A happy reunion waiting to happen. But it can't happen. She's been gone too long. She's not real. So why can I feel her hug me? Author's Note: I swear I'm not a sad or gloomy person. That last story may have been a little on the depressing or hopeful side depending on how you look at it. Don't worry, my mother is alive and well and will probably stay that way for a long time. But I do know the feeling of wanting to see a loved one again. Hug them one last time. Even if it might be a dream... The first story was really a fun one to writ...
