"Please," said the man, "can you do magic to make me be kind?"
"No," said the witch. "Magic cannot change anyone's nature."
"So there is no hope for me?"
"You ask the wrong question. Kind is not something you are. It is what you do."
"Is it that simple?"
"It is that hard."

Teryl's Tales of Whim~It was definitely not rope.
The braided fibers were human hair, I was certain.
So I followed it, half expecting a young royal of some sort or another up in a tower, or in a well - trapped somewhere.
I'd walked almost a mile when I was disappointed to find the end of it, alongside a fancy dagger.
Whoever had felt weighed down by their tresses had chosen to shed them.
I followed the braid back, rolling it up neatly, just to tidy up a bit.

Before I joined this instance in 2017, I had a look around, and asked the wandering.shop admin if I would fit there. Given that I would mostly be publishing to my followers rather than participating in the community, my goals and the instance's didn't align, and I fully respect that. Looking at writing.exchange, they seem to have similar goals and rules.
Even though I'm only one person, when I tell microstories I am, in effect, a brand.

** Mulling over the idea of relocating to a smaller instance. Looking for somewhere well moderated, where I wouldn't look out of place (so focus on SF/F and/or story-telling), and accepting that I'd be more involved with my existing audience than participating in the local community.
(The last part there might indicate I should set up my own instance, to be fair.)
Thoughts and recommendations appreciated! **

The last few days before the asteroid crashed into Earth were filled with resignation, reminiscence, and confessions. All over social media:
"I have a crush on you."
"I actually like banana on pizza."
"I didn't lose the ring, I sold it."
"I faked the asteroid."
"I kiss... What?"

I stare at the genie.
"What?" I say.
"I will grant you two wishes. Riches, health, fame, wisdom, knowledge, power, contentment, beauty, whatever you want."
It's too... I can't- How could I... I'll get it wrong!
"I wish I will never regret my wishes."
"Granted. And your second?"

"Humans can not be sat on," the princess read from the tablet.
She gave the dragon a look, returned the tablet to the hoard, and picked up another.
"Being old doesn't equal being wise," she read. "What are these?"
"Lessons I've learned."
"It's a large hoard."
"I'm proud of it."

A spaceship landed, and an alien emerged.
"We come in peace," they said, "Take us to your librarian."
"Er... Don't you mean our leader?"
"Why? We already have leaders."
