Milky by B.

 

TRANSLATION: Once upon a time, Milky was walking down the street. Then he saw a mud puddle and said, “WHAT COULD THAT BE?” So then he got into his car. Then he arrived at a witch’s house. Then he said, “Did you ever make a mud puddle?” he said. The witch says, “Yes.” Then he finally found out the mystery.

The March Micro Marathon 26

In its third year, The March Micro Marathon will be, as usual, a prompt-a-day whirlwind for 24 days. You’ll exchange drafts of micro fiction, non-fiction, and prose poetry in small groups and gather for a series of online events (all recorded for participants unable to attend live). We’ll finish with 3 competitions, and participants who are not already in SmokeLong Fitness will be invited to workshop with SmokeLong Fitness until the end of April!
