Blobskin's Macro/Micro Flash Fics

Version: 1.01

Steve crawled out of the cave with a tired smile across his face. His pick was cracked and nearly broken. His leather armor was splitting at the seams. A skeleton's arrow jutted from his back. But cradled against his belly with a dirt caked arm were 10 sparkling diamonds.

"I'd call that a successful haul," he chuckled.

His joy quickly vanished, however, when he noticed the sun dipping below the horizon. Home was an hour away and their was no way his equipment would last the night.

"GEM!" he called, desperation evident in his voice. "Gem! Where did you go?!" Looking around the empty grass field, Steve groaned. "Fine."

He quickly pulled a carrot from his bag and waved it over his head. Immediately the ground began to quiver rhythmically. Like distant TNT explosions that gradually grew louder. Suddenly, what little sunlight remained was blocked by a massive white equine body.

Gem lowered her head down to Steve and grinned. "Is that carrot for me?"

"Only if you give me a ride home."

She giggled. "Okay."

Gem opened her house devouring maw and released a breathe of rancid air. Accidentally of course. Steve stepped forward bravely and tossed the puny carrot onto her waiting tongue. As Gem swirled the treat around her mouth and savored the sweet natural flavor, Steve moved around to her side and gripped the ladder that dangled from her back. Once he was seated on the plateau that was her saddle the large pony happily trotted towards Steve's cobblestone fort, her powerful stomps leaving behind barren craters the casual passerby might have mistaken as recent creeper attacks.
