Note: This is my first ever 100-word fiction
The Surreal
The electricity was available yet the neighbor’s generator had been turned on for hours, making constant grueling sound, driving him insane. He buried his head between the pillows to escape but of no avail. Not just sleeplessness he was battling with a severe headache too.
A thought occurred to him awhile later. He smiled demonically and with his eyes closed his heart churned a sentence or two. He shuddered and broke into sweat. With a blasting sound the machine had been silenced forever. No harm in using a gifted power for a valid reason, he thought, and went to sleep.














Fiction is always out of my scope, but this one is good, because it only 100 words…

I don’t have those articles… I read his statement in some paper where he said he was punished for writing openly which certain people didn’t like hence he was framed.

One and all of us own power to command anything; surely anything!
And don’t we see a frantic, neither exaggerated by sun nor snow; Sheer passion & exploitation of hidden acumen and you can do whatever. Good writing.
