This week's microfiction is a 90-word story about EATING THE RICH.

Roar

It began as a hum: overlapping whispers of the hungry, endlessly searching and asking for more, while rich men licked grease from fat fingers and sat upon walls made of corn.

It grew to a howl, and as the hungry became starved, the louder they howled. Rich men took no notice, lounging in gilded glass mansions on foundations of feculence.

But one cannot forever hide behind glass walls. The starved scraped the walls of corn and threw stones at the mansions while the rich cowered.

It ended as a roar.
