Some days, the endless stream of division, greed, hate, and suffering manage to overtake me, and become all that I can think about. This piece – which is part fiction, part “reality” – is a product of the sludge filling my brain (and the internet) after the events of late.
Feel free to skip it if you’re tired of thinking/hearing about politics.
Today’s free short fiction story comes from my effort to write a Story a Day every (week)day in May. I’m not posting all of them, only those I think will be great for blog readers, like this one. They will be tagged [Free Short Fiction] for easier searching.
The prompt for today’s story comes from Our Write Side:
Two cents worth
“People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.” ― Søren Kierkegaard
Spew
I like people who weren’t captured. [105]
Bing bing, bong bong, bing bing bing. [103]
Part of the beauty of me is that I am very rich. [92]
It’s only free speech when it’s what I want to hear. [88]
I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few. [82]
Rigged. Fake news. Lock her up. Build the wall. Drain the swamp. [76]
I made a lot of money and I made it too easily, to the point of boredom. [68]
If I lose, it’s because you cheated. If you lose, it’s because everyone loves me. [59]
You lose your rights when I say so, because you’re the apprentice, and I’m the master. [54]
I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of them. I’ll supply funds and she’ll take care of the kids. [39]
If I have a fault and somebody exposes that fault or talks about that fault, you won’t hear me complain. [36]
I punched my music teacher because I didn’t think he knew anything about music and I almost got expelled. [35]
You know, it doesn’t really matter what they write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass. [32]
The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive. [23]
We do, if it’s illegals, in other words, if it’s everybody, but people that are legally living here, I’m doing very well. [19]
Sorry losers and haters, but my IQ is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault! [0]
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. [-12]
