Steve the Pig

Dreaming of freedom.

Thoughts of bacon are banished.   

Steve drifts out to sea.

Flash Fiction, Random Rants, tutto e niente

Climate Storm v. Storm Windows

She wondered whether the storm windows would hold. They were meant to keep out bad weather, not … well whatever was falling from the sky. It was funny she used to think the end of the world would come later. After she was gone. Not when her dreams were finally within her grasp.

It wasn’t fair. She had done everything right. And now. Now the sky was literally falling.

Lost in thought, her mind barely registered the hissing as the bubbles burst through the window pane.

As the drops burned through her flesh, her mind screamed “It’s not fair!”

Thanks to Carrot Ranch for the inspiration for this 99 word story.

Climate change is real and it’s going to destroy us if we don’t change our path.
