Micro/ Flash Fiction: Parrots on the Grocery List
Minion 257 scanned down each row of the megastore, looking for the items on the grocery list.
“Villainous Emporium, the place for all your nefarious needs,” A hologram announced nearby, cycling through its advertisements.
“Laser sharks, metal dogs, lap cats – where are the birds? Ah, here they are, in the piracy section.” Minion 257 ordered a Macaw to be sent to the base.
Pleased with herself, Minion 257 reported back to her boss.
“Where is the garrote?” Her commander, Death Rose the Great Villainess, questioned.
Minion 257 sweated as she asked, “Mistress, how do you feel about birds?”
