    It leaves a mark on your soul, meeting a god. Most people never meet one before they die. A few saints, prophets, and other holies have more than one mark.The witch couldn't help stare with her second sight."You've met them all? Many times?"Her friend shrugged. "They say I'm a good listener."#TootFic #MicroFiction #SmallStories

    "Can you open one of these?" the treasure hunter asked.He showed the witch an egg shell, with an intricate pattern of silk thread knotted around it."Put that back!""There's something inside, it must be valuable. But when-""Someone locked their grief away. Break one, and it's yours.""Oh..."#TootFic #MicroFiction #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

    The time traveller closed the book and stared blankly ahead. "So," said the author, "was that what-""No! That wasn't at all- It's a warning!""Allegorical, but y-""It's not you I need to kill, it's the person who read this and still wanted to build the Torment Nexus!""Kill?""I must go!"#MicroFiction #TootFic #SmallStories #TormentNexus
