“Drink

If you ever
want to annoy a mathematician ask what happens if you divide by zero,
but keep asking “why” like a kid. Then maybe you'll help them
reach a scientific breakthrough. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Grinding
Gears
The gears in
the grandfather clock lived together ever since birth. A family. And
the most boastful of them all was Ben, the biggest gear. He
intimidated the other gears with his size, and how he made the most
noise of all the gears. A piece of machinercy that was a natural born
bully with a sense of entitlement due to his size.
However one day
Quincy, the smallest gear in the clock responded to the usual
boasting and bragging of Ben with a calm statement of fact. “You're
nothing special. A machine needs all its parts to work. It matters
just as much if you or I break, we're just as important.”
Ben could only
tick and tock with the others in response. He didn't brag from that
day forward.
