    I did this one on my livestream, and it was interesting, people kept asking me if I lived in India...and they seemed surprised when I said I just thought it was a cool place to set a story like this.

    "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

    I genitori sono quelli che ci hanno insegnato a guardarci con durezza, perché avessimo la forza di andare avantiSe abbiamo raggiunto la cima della montagna possiamo guardare il mondo con occhi tranquilli(La discesa è un altro lavoro, saper scendere un'altra difficoltà)

    The black dragon landed in the middle of the village. 'The mountain is my home now! Give me a maiden every month or I'll destroy everything!'A small man in official wear walked up to it with a clipboard. 'Excuse me, have you applied for a permit to build a home?''Huh? What-''And although humans are not specified, if you mean to eat the maiden you will need a hunting license.''But-''Then there's the communal tax. Do you have a fixed income?'The dragon was already gone.#MicroFiction
