Wrizzit
For everything, down to the scribbles.
I'll drop this one a bit early on Wrizzit. Fictionwocky prompt for May 15th Leg 15 – The 55-Word Leg: Write a microfiction of exactly 55 words. Not 54. Not 56. Precision is required. Strip away the fat and deliver a single, nano-stab of a fatal story. A half-narrative arc, a dying utterance, or a burst of violence. Good? Ok. Count your words. WE’RE watching YOU (me and the Beast). ————————————— CHUNKS It was I who named the baboon Chunks. I thought it was ironic but poignant.

We’ve run out of water.
