VERY VERY SHORT TAKES
Amusing Musings:
Micro Tale #502: "VERY VERY SHORT TAKES" by Leon Enriquez
~~~~~~~~~
Here are some short takes of not more than 50 words. This is an exercise in brevity for a very very short story fragment. The reader gets to participate in the intensity of the argument. Watch how the visual picture evolves as brief word-strings commiserate.

#31: HOT SOUP
~~~~~~~~~
Random swing of inconsiderate strikes. Sharp and abrasive. Unmerited jest.
~~~~~~~~~
"It was unintentional," stretched that foolhardy lame excuse.
~~~~~~~~~
"Unwarranted wounds like these leave terminal scars," echoed the hurt party.
~~~~~~~~~
"Why so sensitive?" blasted the protagonist.
~~~~~~~~~
Words like stray bullets blindside the unwary. Stumbling on the fast track frames insidious misdemeanours.

#32: SANDPAPER GRADE
~~~~~~~~~
Envy in jealous dark shades of thoughts insidious. Rampage like a consuming forest fire. Unstoppable as a sandstorm! This caustic streak that bulldozes through flesh. Masked with deliciously subtle finesse. Cognisant of a cunning warmonger staging war craft.
~~~~~~~~~
Vile feel of abrupt demeanour. Simply abrasive. Blame it on the DNA.
