JEALOUSY (27) Have you ever wondered why the Gods punished mortals for unwanted divine attention? It's because they no longer love. Immortality drains the heart from their relationships. It's territory, not connection they are protecting. They fear a rekindling of transcendent love they no longer experience. They know only their rancor. #Flashfiction #FiftyWords #Divinity #Stasis #Stagnation #WritingCommunity #vss Thaddeus Howze © 2025 | 27/100

When I woke up, I was sent a retouched photo of myself having my head replaced with a #gorilla in glasses.

He called me a #cxxn and hinted my computer knowledge had been earned by being a janitor at #Microsoft.

It tainted my morning.

Then I had #coffee and laughed at the #pettiness.
