#MicroFiction #tootfic #smallstories

So many people think corn fields are scary, but I don't know why.

I'd spent years of my childhood walking among the rows, telling stories & secrets to the proud stems and patient ears.

I never got lost, nothing prowled among them aside from the occasional crow, or determined slug.

And now that my eyes peek above the tallest stalks, I can even more easily spot landmarks.

If only pesky humans would stop invading my territory at night.

I'm looking for artists who can draw mice for a TTRPG inspired by films like The Great Mouse Detective, Rescuers Down Under, etc. Small commission for promo art (the rest depends on successful Kickstarter). POC and other marginalized folks encouraged to apply!
Please boost!

Best typo of the day: Sharft

Though abandoned, the kittens were lucky.
Nearby bushes provided distractions that drew them away from the lethal wheels of the busy road.
Slow lizards & fat crickets provided easy meals for unskilled hunters.

A forgotten clubhouse, mostly mismatched chairs and an old tent, provided shelter from rain, and puddles aplenty to drink.

Because of these circumstances, these lucky kittens were found in good shape, and adopted into loving homes.

The Sit is real, warn your friends and family, don't let them too succumb to ...The Sit.

Storytime!
When I was in high school, I made a Saiyan tail out of faux fur and wire and wore it to school like the huge nerd I was. It took a few days before a fellow student snuck up behind me during lunch and tore out the tail, leaving a hole in the ass of my pants for the day. The principal's response: Maybe I shouldn't dress like that.
I learned a lot that day.

I'm stuck in transit, and I'm hungry. Oh no. 8[ ]

@tomskee
Oh no! ._. I don't have much to contribute aside from thinking they're both good.

Thank you for choosing Bondo Wood Filler! This product has an open working time of I hope you brought your A game, punk.

Finished! :D #MastoArt #Mandala #CreativeToots

@krita

Hurgh, so many cool people joining and I know my feed will be too intimidating if I try to follow them all. Too many cool people is a good problem to have, at least.

Me: I'm a game developer
Person: Oh you make games?
Me: Absolutely not

Going to draw a mandala in @krita based on this image, and streaming it (or trying to, on our crappy internet) over at https://www.twitch.tv/welshpixie :) #MastoArt #CreativeToots

Because any number of bars is good enough when your livelihood depends on it.

@annika
Gosh, that's a good question. I would probably go so far future that it was more fantasy than anything, and likely have a range of settings including settlements and big metropolitan areas. I haven't really given it too much thought before.
