"Are you getting chips?" asked eager Dgeon.
"Might be" replied Skypunk nonchalently.
"Shall we share them?"
Dgeon leaped a little at his own great idea.
Skypunk thought about what was in it for him.
"No".
"Well then i won't share my chocolates wiv you later" huffed Dgeon.
"You don't have any chocolates left!" scoffed Skypunk.
"Do so!"
"Fine".
Skypunk rose and stretched his colossal flaps.
Dgeon clapped featherly, and waited.
While he waited he sucked on his last chocolate.
Skypunk returned with a gobful of hot, salty chippies, which Dgeon hoovered up in one gapey gulp.
"Gimme a chocolate!"
said Skypunk.
“SORRY” said Dgeon,
“they were all stolen by a massive duck”.
That’s it for now.
More micro-tales to come, in two weeks worth of linear time; when the twenty-eighth June frolic stares at July. Love in the meantime :)
