The Quiet Barber -the Microfiction
He didn't like to talk to his customers. It wasn't because he had nothing to say: he had a great interest in people and he had a life that was full; anecdotal and at times, crazy. He could regale his customers animatedly if he chose to, like a lauded entertainer and they would laugh, wide-eyed, at his witty, well-delivered tales.

Sports Bra
I should have brought my sports bra. This one is not going to support me at all. Why didn't I put it in? Too much in a rush, that's why. I shouldn't have stayed up to finish that series. I knew I'd regret it one way or another. I've got nothing to watch tonight now either. And these yoga pants? I look like a bag of rubbish tied up. I thought they were meant to allow movement? Where's my water bottle? Oh, don't tell me I left it in the car? I'm such a bozo! And now I'll be late!
