Competition Entry: Microfiction

Author's Notes

"This story was for a 100 word competition. In fact, it's the first competition I've ever entered! Haha, milestones and all that. Anyways, this was a real challenge. Not since my school days have I had a word count, and trying to tell a cool story seemed almost impossible in the tight parameters! That's kinda why I went with a creation myth approach. Those kinds of stories are always vague in specifics and full of metaphors, which felt like a good way to get a lot of substance in a short space without leaving the reader wondering too much what was going on. Or at least I hope so. I'm not 100% happy with it, but who really is? Anyways, wish me luck, and I hope you enjoy it :)"

It was on the barren plains where they first touched. But touching is only ever the beginning.

The two gods laid upon the ground, letting their bodies merge together in lover’s embrace. Their passion made the world move with every thrust, each cry of ecstasy written into the wind, the world changing around them as surely as their waters flowed into each other.

“Blend your song with mine,” they would say. “Etch our story into the aether.”

It was then that the flowers bloomed, witnesses to a climax that would stretch for eternity. Red, for passion.

Red for their love.

A great take on the theme. Best of luck.
Well done. Good luck in the comp.
An interesting take on the competition. Well done, and good luck.
A very different approach indeed and a lovely one too. Sounds like the gods having fun on Mount Olympus. Best of luck.
A lovely take on the theme. Not sure you needed the author's note at all. I always read micro's before reading any notes, I even try and avoid the one-liner because, in my opinion, the story should come across without any embellishment. Your story doesn't beautifully!

I enjoyed the creation story element. I have written a couple different creation myth stories for different fantasy worlds that I want to work into my novels for those settings. This was enjoyable, best of luck for the contest.
First time I ever read a piece where the intro was longer than the story itself! It's a nice idea, and stood alone very well.
