New Story — Warm Dreams
Tammy would watch her turtle sun itself under the light set up for that purpose. She wondered if it would be happier being warm all the time. She made a little fleece jacket for it.
She sought funding to make bigger, more durable jackets for sea turtles so they could be warm as they swam dark ocean waters.
The first “volunteer” was fished from the sea…
… Tommy Turtle woke from the dream.
‘You look troubled, Tommy’, said his wife, Toni.
‘Nightmare. Dreaming about humans again.’
‘What happened in this one?’
‘They put us in jackets.’
‘Weird. Sweaters would work better.’

Old Story — Untitled (Originally published long ago, also here: https://onehundredwordsbyparz.blogspot.com/2018/11/dark-turtle-fleece.html)
A cryptic message in an ancient text. A company of heroes seeking fame and fortune. Long dark roads and deadly peril. A sole survivor…
Thiormond Thunderbum spied his prize. In the top room of the tallest tower of a wizard’s castle lay the Fleece of Transformation upon the Turtle Shell of Ultimate Wisdom. And it was his for the taking. Murmuring the oft repeated message, he came to the line “Wear the Fleece”. Wrapping the fleece around his broad shoulders, he envisioned glory for his accomplishment. Dreaming turned to panicked bleating with a last thought “Was it ‘Ware the Fleece?’”
