Note: I’m talking a sort of cross-training vacation for August, and am going to try and write a bunch of micro-fiction stories like this one. My goal is to write a total of 30, but I’ll probably bundle them into 1-2 sets a week. If you’d like to join this party, post your own stories through August and put Dark Age Microfiction #n-m in your subject lines.

August is medieval fiction month at the Contraptions Book club, where you get to pick from: Canterbury Tales, Decameron, Divine Comedy, and Don Quixote. Pick your edition/translation carefully. I am reading Canterbury Tales. Declare your choice in this chat thread.
