The Bad Influence

50 WORDS MICROFICTION

Gripped

Thrifty Words theme challenge #9

Greed is so tightly wrapped around our human nature. We unknowingly suffocate under its grip until it consumes us whole.

Excess is an unwritten standard by which we measure success.

We posture as if we are here to help our fellow man, yet clenched fists leave nothing to grasp onto.

We’re a Bad Influence because we INCITE change through inclusion, thought and creativity. We imagine a world where people can think critically, express themselves, and thumb their nose at the status quo, together.
