Death By Story - Entry for @miniature-tiger's Fiftywords Stories - Flash Fiction

I murdered my own story. Bludgeoned it with words. My audience disappeared long ago, migrating birds. Already in court: recommended I plead insanity; the judge reprimands me for my profanity. I look inside my coffee cup and glimpse Franz Kafka’s face. From one loon to another, he’d understand my case.

wow, this is great work. Like the beginning of a novel. Looking forward to a continuation.. @mylittleblurbs

Thank you. I got that feeling too, however I'm anxious to stretch it in fear of ruining it. If I find an avenue to drive down, I'll be sure to try and explore that neighbourhood!

OH MY GOSSSHHH.
This is fantastic. Really! I love the play on (and murder of) words, and how much story there is within these few words. Niceness!

That's high praise, sir.
Thanks
