Been busy this Wednesday. But enjoy my latest “100 Word Stories” microfiction. This one is all dialogue:

Title: The News

“Heard the news, Fritz?”

“Of course, Gerd. How can I not? We’re at war. To think it’s finally come to this. So unreal.”

“Why are you so sad? It’s about time we show the world our strength.”

“Listen to yourself! This war doesn’t make sense. Queen Victoria is the Kaiser’s oma. The Tsar’s wife is one of us. Why are we fighting? Is this war really in our interest?”

“You speak like some academic, Fritz. Hans is more excited for this, like everyone else.”

“I just have a bad feeling about this.”

“Cheer up, Fritz. This’ll be over before Christmas.”
