No Money, More Problems

I couldn't believe it. How did my bank app on my phone just disappear? I scrolled through all my files and nothing came up. I pulled up the app store and searched for it there. No dice.

How was I going to get my coffee now? Well, I just will have to go by my bank. I walk there and come to find it's just an empty lot. But that's impossible. I was here just yesterday. It's almost as if...

I googled the word "money". It didn't come up. "Economy". No results. It seemed possible that money no longer exists.

Augmented Really?

The creature on her phone was so cute. It looked like it was actually on her table, hopping and laughing. She tapped the screen to put it to sleep.

As she reclined on her couch, she marveled at how augmented reality games changed her life. Though counting the many games she'd liked made her drowsy.

She closed her eyes. A snore erupted. She bolted up. Did she snore? Actually, no. Her roommate always called her a quiet sleeper. She turned her head as the snoring became louder. The little creature still looked cute but that didn't stop her from screaming.

Where To Apply

Their swords clashed under moonlight. Each blade danced to and fro in a flurry of parries. He admitted that she had technique. Her execution in every movement meant something. Something he thought was lost to this generation.

If only his daughter could use this same tenacity to the family business, he would be much more content. But this match would decide that. Only if she wins can she go on her own. Middle ground meant staying to rule Silicon Valley.

"Call it a draw?" He asked as he blocked her last blow.

She frowned. "I call bull. Let's finish this."

Author's Note: These are 3 of my 100 word stories. I have occasionally written a handful of 100 word and 50 word long stories. Would hope they would find a home here alongside my larger short stories.  If you like them, let me know if you would like to see these expanded upon. I'd love to make bigger worlds from these if the interest is there!

Again, don't forget to vote and comment on what you think about them so far!

Until I see you next Thursday, have a blessed week!
