I've been rather absent from the #microfiction tag. Here's a dozen of my oldest tiny stories, including the first one I ever posted. Can you guess which one it is?

"The Great Leap Forwardโs famine didnโt arrive immediately. For a while, the numbers looked spectacular. Every province reported record harvests. Leadership was pleased. The requisitions increased.
The famine came when the real grain ran out but the reported grain kept flowing upward.
Weโre still in the reporting phase. The dashboards are green. Adoption is up and to the right. Every team reports productivity gains that, if summed across the company, would imply engineers are shipping at 300% efficiency while somehow still missing the same deadlines."
