asakiyume: (Em reading)
Elsewhere on the interwebs, I've been doing microfiction, a tiny story a day, based on single-word prompts. Three of us create prompt words for the month. We intend to keep it up for a whole year! So far I've only missed one day.

I posted an entry here featuring one I wrote, then lost confidence and deleted the entry. The thing about microfiction--especially, maybe, mine, is it's VERY slight! Not much to see! ... But I deleted the entry more because I feared it might read as saccharine. I like the story! In the words of the immortal Krusty the Clown, "I don't mind the taste!" But I get shy of revealing just what a prissy moralizer I can be. (LOL, though if you've read me here for any amount of time, you've probably figured it out.)

Anyway, I'm going to post some of the word prompts I've written for, and you choose which one you'd like to see, and I'll give it to you in my reply.

(The shamefully embarrassing one was for the word "tree," and if you're curious, you can read it here.)

THESE ARE VERY SHORT. They have to fit in about 450 characters.

Across the sky, wispy white vertebrae from some decomposing heavenly beast.

"Sky creatures never stink when they decay," granddad says, "because they're half made of light. Down here we're made of heavy stuff and we stink when we decay. But the sky creatures have no sweet fragrances or intoxicating aromas, either. All the tantalizing scents we love come from the fact that earthly flesh is rich and heavy.
