    The witch made him hot chocolate. "They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am."He took a sip."They say I can overcome any hardship.""Mm," said the witch. "And I can. I do."The witch said nothing. "But I shouldn't have to!""No."The witch held the hero as he wept."No, you shouldn't."#MicroFiction #TootFic #SmallStories

    "There's... er..." My new assistant bookseller faltered. Over by the window, an open book hovered. As I looked, a page turned. I picked up my hag stone and peered through it."Just a ghost. That's a relief.""What else...""Imps, devils, people with invisibility spells. The last are worst."#TootFic #MicroFiction #SmallStories #BookSellers

    "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

    She offered to row the old wizard and the young king out on the lake. When a hand emerged from the water, holding a sword aloft, the king took the sword. And she took hold of the hand, let herself be pulled down, down.The Lady of the Lake breathed air into her lungs with a laugh."You again?"#MicroFiction #TootFic #SmallStories #Arthuriana
