Loved them both, Dave. The first one was especially evil...
Have a great week. Cheers~

Dull is comforting sometimes...familiar.

First one--Well-written, scary, foreboding. But I'm thinkin'--doesn't he realize that it would be lonely to be the only person on earth? Nah--he's irrational.

Wondering what catastrophic event is soon to happen...

Nothing like a chat atop a quaint bridge to make you want to eavesdrop. :>

Hope you have a fantastic week, Dave!

Good take on both!

Wow! Your MM is very promising - in a sinister sort of way!

Good one.

Portending such evil thoughts on a Valentine's Day!? Haha! Mine's all sentimental and mushy!

Interesting stuff that you write, Dave. I didn't realize trolls were very good conversationalists :o)

Great microfiction. He obviously has some diabolical plans brewing.

Poor troll. So misunderstood! Very creative take on that pic.

Doctor FTSE said...

Two interesting interpretations.
