I’m finishing edits on Mega 5, but I still have time to get y’all your weekly fix of micro-fiction!

YOU! ARE! WELCOME!

And, since I’m never one to stand between a person and his or her fix, how’s about we get this show started?

Enjoy!

Pay DOE
By
Jake Bible

Crushed beneath ten tons of cement, Horace was seriously rethinking his career choice.

“Golem needed,” the ad had read. “Exciting work environment. Pay DOE.”

Horace hadn’t ever been a golem. He was a rock troll by birth, a creature of the dirt and mud by nature, and an opportunistic worker by personality, so the gig intrigued him. But he wasn’t jewish.

“No problem,” the manager said. “We’re open-minded.”

He wondered if “open-minded” was actually code for “goes through a lot of golems”.

As Horace lay there under ten tons of heavy cement, he thought he knew the answer.
