In the following post, you will find a 250 word microfiction. This is based on my workplace where I always seem to find myself in a pretty bad mood.

Take a guess where I am?
 cold, uncomfortable chair

People walking in and out.

Knock, knock, knock on the back door.

 “I have a few deliveries for you” shouts the UPS man.

I replied with an attitude, “Oh just great, more shoes I need to find room for!”

It’s all about a days’ work, no wait; it’s all about the tone people.

 

The following 250 word microfiction includes a line from Gloria Anzaldua's How to Tame a Wild Tongue

You can’t do this, I haven’t broken no law.

The officer placed the stumbling under aged female in the back of the police car.

“What do you mean you didn’t break any laws? How old are you? And what is the legal drinking age in the state of New Jersey? Said the police officer as he was running the females name checking to make sure she didn’t have any outstanding warrants.

“ Uhhh, well in New Jersey it is 21, but everywhere else in the world it is 18, so I would be okay.” Slurred the 19 year old.

“But that is the thing, you aren’t anywhere else in the world, you are here in New Jersey where the drinking age is 21.  You should quit while you are ahead. We may be able to work something out because I know if I were you I would be more scared of my parents finding this out than anything.”

“Yes sir!” replied the girl.
