Are you ready for some great writing? You're ready for great writing.

customer service surreal fiction

“Yes, I'm calling to see what I must do to exchange the Fantubulosa Productivisima you sold me last week.”
I don't recalling selling you anything, sir.
“No, I mean your store.”
I don't have a store, sir. Can you be more specific, please?
“The company you work for. You had a store at Ninth and Main in Boston last week. It's not there any more.”

Customer Service by @blockurator plays on something that many of us have experienced: the obtuse customer service person. The person hasn't been an otter before, however. The work delves deeper into surreality as it goes and is a fun read.

“I told ya boy, yer needs to grow up sooner rather than later. There ain’t no place in this world for cowards.”

A Sacred Crop by @raj808 is an entry into the @f3nix Finish the Story Contest, creating a strong sense of horror.

splintered & discarded
under pressure i break
my usefulness is over

Rubbish by @sumayyahsaidso is a strong, dark piece of poetry based on the above image.

The blood of the city squelched beneath the boots of Thaddeus Blightforge. The stench of it was awful. All mud and dung and dirty rain, he wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Of Friends and Foes by @jackofcrows is a classic fantasy story with really nice use of imagery.

the sky did not stop screaming loudly
crying because it was hurt so badly
ask to stop all pollution backers
momentarily reconcile with the air

Cry of the Sky by @rokhani uses personification to explore the issue of pollutions.
