Anger seethed through the petty man. He shook his head violently and stammered incomprehensibly. The victim of his rage stood indignantly. She stood searching her vacant head for the right words.
For him, it was another reason in his intolerably long list. Anger begot anger and, by now, he was angry at everything. This was slightly, worse, though. Betrayal is often hard to swallow.
For her, it was the next episode in a long line of abuses. Next time, perhaps she'd return fire in the war of words-- but probably not.
It's all minutae in such a gigantic world.

99 Words is a pet project I started in 2011 when at college. The idea was that I didn't have time for writing, but still had passing fancies, visions, plot ideas, and the like. Instead of tossing them to the wayside, I came up with a plan to turn those notes into little chunkules of text, each 99 words long. This is section is still updated.
