"Excuse me, your highness" the frog said. "May I implore you to give me a peck on the cheek?"
"Not a kiss?" the princess asked.
"I would not presume. A peck will turn me back into a prince for a day, so I can find a bow and arrows."
"Whatever for?"
"I'll kill the heron who's eating my friends!"
i'm trying to get more practice writing fiction (which, turns out, is hard, if all you write every single day has to be succinct and anchored in a technical and political reality)
if anyone reading this feels like sharing feedback or their emotional reaction, i'm very welcoming of both ^^

A person from Finland wrote this superb #microfiction on Mastodon (I can´t find the posting anymore but I saved the text.):
1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared.
So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world.
10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet.
She screams: "THEY GOT OUT!!!"
