“Against all evidence, I keep thinking the assholes are outliers.”
Love #FlashFictionFriday
Hey all here is this week's #FlashFiction Friday.
I really like this one.
I really like this one.
![Redit Post:
[Prompt Inspired] You're a mimic. You were disguised as a chair in a dungeon when an adventurer decided to take you as loot. You've actually enjoyed your life ever since as furniture in a jolly tavern. So when some ruffians try to rob the now elderly adventurer's business, you finally reveal your self.
I never knew exactly why he took me out of that dungeon. There was more gold to be grabbed, more jewels to steal, but he took me. A CHAIR. I think he wanted a memento; he never went on another adventure after that, instead opting to use the riches from his adventuring to build this cosy little tavern with me as a prized seat for guests of honour. THE CHAIR FROM HIS FINAL GRAND EXPLOIT. A relic of his old life.
I could've eaten him of course. would have been easy. He had no idea I was a mimic. Spent much of the travels on his back, near him when he slept, all exceedingly vulnerable times when I could have struck. But... to see the outside world after so long? See how much has changed over the centuries? Weighed against a single meal, the choice was clear. And with that, I was just a chair in a tavern.
And it is incredible.
I had no idea how much I was missing stuck in that dusty old castle. There is so much to be experienced, to be seen! I have people of races, shapes and colours I never dared imagine. I've learned languages I would have once thought to be simple noise. I've heard tales of love lost and triumph earned. This tavern teems with life, with variety, and I'd not give it up for anything.
Oh and the food!! I never hurt a hair on the patrons, but...sometimes they rest a meal on me for a moment or some scraps fall off the table. You might think it undignified, but compared to eating rats and men alike in a dungeon? I was eating like a king, both in variety and in style. There are these little things made of flour and eggs - dumplings I believe - that are simply to die for.
An so I have lived for 33 outstanding years.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rokjdc65kwqmcv5yfu2zbsur/bafkreidjospyewf5s37sayk4ya3dpxkbqbjzgvclyye2tjcf3p7n27wnb4@jpeg)

The Dolphin Nebula is a bubble-shaped nebula located in the constellation Canus Major around 5,000 light-years from Earth.
This alluring nebula takes the shape of a dolphin’s head, and was thought to have formed roughly 70,000 years ago.
Breathtaking.

Look none of this is difficult.
The billionaires want us to hate each other. They're buying every newspaper and social media company to flood the space with bots and hate speech to keep us fractured and divided. And we could do that - and tear each other apart - or we could try to fix things.

i can’t wait for farmhouse-style doors to fall out of style. especially on bathrooms. who decided that you shouldn’t be able to fully close off the pooping room from the rest of the space?

A Gallup poll conducted shortly after the shootings showed that approximately 58% blamed the students, while 11% blamed the National Guard, and 31% were unsure or had mixed feelings.
Yikes!

This has been what I'm trying to convey to people. This won't be like last time.
I don't think a lot of folks are prepared for Trump to not only follow through and start shooting protesters with live ammo, but also for a good portion of the country to cheer on protesters being shot.
