Blobskin's Macro/Micro Flash Fics

Version: 1.01

"You've got to angle it, Sweetie," Applebloom chided the other filly.

"I know what I'm doing!" Sweetie's voice cracked. She adjusted her grip on the magnifying glass, but her view of the tiny city didn't change. She huffed. "Maybe we should do this when it's warmer," she offered.

Applebloom scowled. "Give me that. I'll show ya how it's done."

Applebloom moved to seize the magnifying glass while hundreds of tiny humans watched uneasily below. Their skyscrapers gleamed in the morning sun, the temperature a pleasant 73 degrees Fahrenheit, while two massive furry girls with cone shaped ears and equine muzzles struggled for the view magnifier above them. The ground shook with their every movement. Eventually Applebloom cheered with victory while Sweetie crossed her arms and pouted.

"Now ah'll show ya," the country pony grinned. Aiming the glass just so, the sun's light was focused like a laser and began to cut into one of the concrete structures. A spot the size of a car puffed with smoke. Sticking out her tongue in concentration, Applebloom adjusted a smidgen more. BOOM!! Fire exploded from the middle of the building and people screamed.

"SEE! That easy," Applebloom laughed.

She then turned the handle and slid the laser across homes and businesses, each one lighting up like a box of matches in turn. A fire engine roared down the main road.

"Ooh ooh, get the red one!" Sweetie said while hopping in place, madly tapping Applebloom's shoulder.

Sweat dripped from the earth pony's forehead as she aimed. The metal immediately turned red, melted, and then the cab caught fire. Finally, it crashed into an old folks home which quickly turned into a raging inferno.

Applebloom let the laser fall on a random road, which began to melt, as she turned to Sweetie. "THAT is how you burn humans with a magnifying glass."
