The river #runs from sunset to sunrise: it yearns toward that bright, near star. But the river is also endlessly curious, and so it weaves north, then south, in giant curves. It would never fall for the arid myth of directness; it knows the wisdom of wandering. But at some points in its journey it does flow directly east. How glorious dawns are at those points, when its length is transformed into liquid fire, honoring the sun. #wss366 #microfiction #prompt #TinyTales

"It is my #sincere wish," said the flickering VHS recording of the twins' recently deceased father, "that the two of you will put aside your animosity and learn to work together. If you can, you're worthy to inherit my vast fortune, my cellars full of gold, my stocks and bonds, my rare financial instruments. Indeed, I am betting your lives on it. This chamber has now been sealed. You have an hour of oxygen remaining. Good luck, my ornery offspring!" #wss366 #microfiction #TinyTales

"You got us a gig?! You got us a gig! Wohoo, BEST DAY EVER! I **knew** you'd be a great agent." Tanager gave Brian a lung-compressing hug, then turned to the rest of the band. "Let's run through our set--we have a gig to practice for!"

Brian didn't have the constitution to tell her to #temper her expectations--that this gig was a birthday party, and not a quinceañera, either. Ah well, he mused. Every group has to start somewhere. #wss366 #microfiction #TinyTales

In the final episode for season one, 'Taking Control', is the story of Sophia, a writer and a resident of an upmarket apartment building in the inner city. Irreparably damaged from a broken relationship, she lives in fear of being hurt again, until she reaches her tipping point. This is both a story of loss and hope.
