| Fairies There were fairies in the back yard, Arnold Whitter was convinced of it. He tried taking photographs of them but they were too fast. As soon as he’d got them in focus, they’d gone. In the end, he resorted to faking it. His deception was soon revealed by modern technology. He was “outed.” Everyone laughed and told him stories of the Cottingley fairies. “It’s been done,” they told him. Arnold braved it out and insisted it was true. He became a national object of derision. What really added injury to insult, however, was when the fairies sued him for defamation. Word count: 100 For no reason other than the need to write something. No prompt. |
| Tattoo William sat down in the chair offered by the tattooist. “I want something entirely different,” he said. “Have a look through this then,” answered the artist, handing over a portfolio with many examples on each of its pages. William flicked through a few before shaking his head. “Nah, it needs to be something really special. I’ve seen people with tats like these.” The tattooist gave him a hard look. “In that case, you’d better have our exclusive special offer.” “Sounds more like it,” said William. “What’s different about it?” “It’s so expensive, no one’s ever been able to afford it.” Word count: 100 For no particular reason Prompt: None. |
