A story in 42 words in response to Yeah Write’s weekly microstory challenge. The prompt was ‘What is at the top?” Let me know what you think of it!
Food, clothing, shelter,
a job, a six figure salary,
a loving family, ego massages by scores of followers on social media,
Nirvana.
Are we at the top yet, Mr. Maslow*?
Not quite. Are we ever? It’s a bottomless pit turned upside down.
