Today's #flashfiction Their Misfortune

“His bark is worse than his bite.”
Tron* #quote


Today I founded the imaginary country of Langdople in my mind. We have very large tariffs on imported goods so it might be difficult to price your wares competitively in in Langdople. Anyway onto the flash fiction!


Their Misfortune


         The streets filled with panic. The first few predictions were written off as wizards messing up, or faulty crystal balls. But when every single wizard used prediction magic to forecast the upcoming day pure darkness appeared. Though usually only able to be vague and preciseness a little difficult to pull off, even the most inexperienced wizard could get a glimpse of the future by using the crystal balls magical ability commune with the beings of the Spirit World. Usually people managed to use it to predict the weather. And according to all the crystal balls across the world the weather would be endless storms of rain, thunder and magical fire. Wizards all over wondered why couldn't they get a warning of such a large scale disaster from the Spirit World earlier.

       The answer had nothing to with the crystal balls or the wizards. The creatures of the Spirit World just wanted to try this “pranking” thing that the humans did so often and decided to send a scary message of a fake apocalypse. That'd be good for a laugh right?
