    There was a 'womp' sound from the yard. I looked out the window.Where the large pile of leaves had been, a dragon sat."Oi!" I called."The hoard was unguarded," the dragon said. "I claim it."Every damn year. It'll leave once the leaves lose their golden hue. Meanwhile, I can't order takeaway.#MicroFiction #TootFic #SmallStories

    "Best take the staples out, Tom," Alice said as she left the room."Best take the staples out, Tom," he mimicked her voice once she was gone, scrunching up his face. "As if I've never used a shredder before."He fed the documents into the machine, one by one, taking comfort in their destruction. The next one he picked up had a staple. He grinned as he put it in the shredder. What's the worst that could happen?The shredder pulled in the paper and shredded it until the staple hit the rotating blades. A spark and a bang made Tom jump. The lights in the room dimmed momentarily. Then, a loud mechanical whirring came from the machine, rising in pitch as the motor spun faster and faster.Tom stepped back cautiously as the stack of papers on the table were sucked through the air into the shredder. When a book flew off the shelf towards the machine, he ran out of the room. In a panic, he pressed the nearest fire alarm and ran out of the building.Chairs and tables were shreded, followed by drywall and supporting pillars. People hurried out of their offices. Part of the building caved in, smashing the shredder and severing its power line. Without electricity, it finally stopped.Stunned office workers looked around to see if anyone was injured or missing. Tom found his colleagues, thankfully all there."I told you," Alice said."I told you," Tom repeated, making a silly face.#Inktober #Inktober2025 #microfiction #shredded

    He examined the lunch with bread and roasted chicken and salad in front of him, hummed, and held out a hand with two coins. 'I'll give you two copper coins for this.' he said to the young woman.'Thank you.' she said and walked away in satisfaction.'That was way more worth than that.' said her friend. 'You'll never pay off your debt to him that way.'She smiled dreamily. 'That's all right. As long as I have this debt I can meet up with him every day.'#MicroFiction

    I was raking leaves on the lawn when I uncovered the god."Leave me alone!" it commanded. "I'm decomposing.""Oh," I said. "Will it take long?""Unless I find a believer...""I'm an atheist.""Hmph. I'll be gone by spring.""Shall I cover you?""I command it!"I'll check that pile in spring.#MicroFiction #TootFic #SmallStories #SmallGods
