Good evening.
I see you have come for the free micro-fiction. Good for you. A fine choice on your part. Very fine.
But, before we get to the 100 words of fineness, perhaps we should discuss something very important.
Yes, this is important. Shut up.
I don’t really have much to say about my mailing list except that I refuse to spam subscribers because, well, I’m lazy and don’t have the time nor inclination to bombard your inbox with junk.

Nope
By
Jake Bible
“You know where the Morgan place is?” Harley asked as he leaned out the car window. “It’s not on GPS.”
The old man wiped his veiny nose. “Burnt down twenty years ago, son.”
“Right,” Harley replied. “But, I have to see the ruins. For insurance.”
The old man sighed then gave Harley elaborate directions. “Don’t stay after dark.”
“Why?”
“You’ll see.”
It was after dark when Harley pulled into the overgrown driveway. A very large, very not burned down mansion stood ominously before him, every window lit with candles.
“Nope,” Harley said and turned the car around. “Big, huge nope.”

Cheers!

IN PERPETUITY WE LIVE!

For 2,000 years, Earth and her many colonies across the galaxy have fought against the Estelian menace. Having faced overwhelming losses, the CSC has instituted the largest military draft ever, conscripting millions into the battle against the aliens. Major Bartram North, Chief Training Officer on the CSC Training Station Perpetuity, has been tasked with the unenviable task of coordinating the military education of hundreds of thousands of recruits and turning them into troops ready to fight and die for the cause.
