Micro Tale #400: "VERY VERY SHORT STORY" by Leon Enriquez
~~~~~~~~~
VVSS#1: IMPASSE
~~~~~~~~~
Roundtable meeting. Familiar faces gather. Catch-up on small talk. Polite and curt. No need for conflict or confrontation.
~~~~~~~~~
So far, so good. Each mindfully treading with extra caution. Walking on glass requires careful balancing. All sceptics here. No controversial topics. Except of course, that...
~~~~~~~~~
We hover around waiting for someone to slip up. But, this evening, in our unusually sober and sanguine moods, all seems to be well.
~~~~~~~~~
One wonders tentatively. An unmentionable tension lurks waiting to spoil the show. Then, all hell will be unleashed onto our stupid stalemate.
~~~~~~~~~
Bloody fence-sitters. No gumption. No gumption at all. If only Pandemonium was here!
