Epics of India

For my week 12 Microfictions, I chose to write on story at 25 words or less and one story at 6 words or less, which can both be seen below: 25 words or less: Warm and light air. The smell of fresh cut lawns. On streets, sidewalks and parking lots. The same route daily. The jingle of loose change. 6 words or less: Loyal, obedient, kind. Protective, yet goofy.

We would often take walks to get her, and this story is about me describing what those generally looked like. For my 6 words or less story, I chose to write about a dog my grandfather used to have. Brig, a loyal collie, was a good friend and dog for me as I was growing up, and this story is me describing him.

For my week 12 tech tip, I tried out Duck Duck Go, an alternative search engine to Google which doesn’t track or save your data. Given the heightened awareness of data tracking in the world today, this seems like something that will eventually become very popular. It was also cool just to try out something new, as well as to see that there are things out there that work just as well as Google, which is saying something given how used to it we are.
