Giggles Ain't Laughin' No More - #8 of 80

Artist Violeta Angeles Brody

After Giggles gave the officer information for tonight’s show he went to the big tent.

His nerves were shot.

Adrenalin had been pumping hard for hours and he was mentally and physically exhausted.

The McKinsey twins were practicing in the natural light from the top of the tent and half lights illuminating the dark spots.

Giggles slipped in unnoticed and watched from the bleachers.

The girls rolled and swung in circles.

Dancing together in the air held only by cloth and thigh muscles.

Giggles laid down on the cool metal bench.

It felt soothing on his face.

He drifted off easily.

The only sound was the soft ruffle as the cloth wound and unwound from the McKinsey’s bodies.

Micro Fiction - Once Along The Bell Tower

She looked in his vacant eyes. A pool of black ooze remained at the feet of the unholy creature. His gaping maw still open in ravaging suspended furry. Jessica brought the flame around and waved it at the statue. Just before it could seize her she had thrown the bottle of elixir down the beast’s screaming throat. As the witch had promised the prophecy was complete and the gargoyle was turned back to stone. Never again will Jessica be the same and never again will she play Once Along The Bell Tower.

Thanks for reading. Please let me know what you thought. I wrote this micro fiction as a challenge to make something from start to end with very few words but no less excitement.
