Two Cups of Joe (100 Word Fantasy Humor Story)
Arm in arm, the duo strolled into the cafe. One wore sunglasses and a wide brimmed fedora. The other did not.
“Hello ladies, what can I get for you?” The cashier greeted.
“One soy pumpkin spiced latte with two pumps of cinnamon.” The lady said.
“Sure thing,” they typed in the order and looked toward the pale woman. “And for you?”
“One cup of O Negative, if you have.” She smiled, revealing her fangs.
Eyebrows raised; the cashier froze then asked. “Small, medium or large?”
“Small. I’m trying to cut back,” The vampire laughed. “Oh! and a blueberry scone, please.”

A Remnant of Earth (Sci-Fi 100 Word Story)
Shoved to his knees, the scavenger kneels before Lady Pellanora of the Vega Galaxy. Sitting on a throne, she wears a gown of silver stardust. Hulking mechanical guards at her sides.
Knife to throat, he pleads. “Your brilliance, apologies for entering your realm without permission. Please, grant my ship safe passage and in exchange, I’ll bestow a priceless artifact.”
“And what, feeble human, could you possibly offer me?” The Lady muses.
He holds a glass vial housing a green sprout in soil sample. “A remnant of Earth.”
She scoffs. “Earth was destroyed.”
In his helmet, he grins. “Earth is resilient.”
Write with Heart.
Love,
Lady Jabberwocky
