TYFI Airdrop Details: Distribution starting this Christmas!!!
Tags: Giveaway, Airdrop, Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, Tron

We noticed several questions regarding TYFI airdrop. Below are some key points regarding the airdrop and these should answer all your questions:

· We received over 9000 entries for airdrop since we launched TYFI airdrop campaign.

· We would need to verify all those 9000 entries to ensure that only eligible participants get TYFI tokens. This exercise is largely manual, so it takes a lot of time.

· Our maximum airdrop eligible users are capped at 5000 but please remember ONLY eligible entries would get TYFI tokes as part of the airdrop campaign.

· Airdrop would start ideally after 5 days of the TYFI public launch, so we are aiming to start it from this Christmas. So, let Santa bring you some TYFI tokens and $$$.

· We’ll do the TYFI airdrop in batches and it may take couple of days before we finish the whole exercise. So, we appreciate your support and patience.

Weekly Winners:

As promised, we conducted weekly winner for our referral program and we chose two winners. Those winners were rewarded with 500 TRX, congratulations to both of them!

Top 10 Referrers awards:

We are still conducting airdrop campaign verification and once that’s completed, we will publish a list of top 10 referrers before distribution of Airdrop. Those top 10 referrers would be awarded in TYFI tokens as per the terms and conditions of the campaign.

“34…35…36…37…And now off the fire. Quickly.”

He had way a of talking through me that reminded me my place here was mechanical. Another instrument alongside the metal clamps and glass tubes.

“Do you even comprehend what I am doing here?”

I am aware enough by this point to understand the question was a prompt for himself and not for me.

“When the wind drops a neglected apple, and it lays on the ground. The maggot inside isn’t yet aware that its entire world is about to alter.”

His gestures made clear that for him the shelves and specimens had transformed into distinguished figures of power.

“The conditions mean that the very nature of the apple is shifting, and soon the maggot will find itself with a feast. The rot feeding new life.”

I could feel the metaphor escaping him, he could try and wrestle it back but it was long untethered.

My arm knows the rhythm. I watch as the metal stirrer in my hand cuts through the continuously forming skin of the mixture. The earthy colour and sharp stench so familiar as to almost be a comfort.

The Icy Room

I looked around. The room was naked just like me. There was only a telephone in the corner.

It was cold. Without an inch of cloth to cover me, I felt the cold engulfing me like a passionate lover. It tightened its grip slowly but firmly.

The phone rang. My trembling fingers picked it up after the third attempt.

The voice at the other end was soft and warm. “You know, the room is now at thirty-seven degrees. It’s going to go down slowly. Degree by degree.”

I was silent.

“So tell me, where did you hide the money?”

The bare chill of early autumn was eradicated in the body heat of those waiting to be searched. They were packed tightly enough that shoulders and elbows were catching in their neighbor’s ribs, driving both tempers and temperatures higher. Beads of sweat collected on Jacob’s brow and pooled in the palms of his hands. The subtle pull of the weapon in his pocket felt heavier than it should have; compounded by the weight of his guilty conscience.

The line shuffled forward and a guard gestured him towards her. Standing in front of the woman, he wondered if she could tell the dampness of his face was from nerves rather than the endless tangle of people he had emerged from.

The pat-down was smooth, ritualistic, right up until the moment the guard found the knife. Before she could say anything Jacob placed his hand atop hers, obscuring the blade from anyone else’s view. Upon skin contact, her pupils dilated and blacked out the blue of her irises.

“You will not say a word.” Jacob said. “You will allow me on-board. And after we’ve left the harbor you will come find me again in the cabins.”

The woman nodded, her expression dazed, and when Jacob released her hand she startled, as if roughly awoken from a dream. When her eyes landed on his dawdling form she turned a blotchy shade of red.

“Move along. Don’t you see this line?”

“Sorry, ma’am.” Jacob ducked his head, and discreetly tucked the knife into his waistband, a much safer hiding spot.

He took the gangway in long strides and inhaled deeply, trying to calm the jump in his nerves. The plan had always been to get caught.

‘Yes, I understand you can only give me a few minutes, that you have a backlog of cases in your waiting room. I was just hoping I could tell you about my dream. Maybe it’ll lead to a breakthrough.

‘Right, right, I need to juxtapose the dream with my day-to-day reality. Ok, so… this could take some time. I guess the first thing I was wearing an orange tutu while fishing for buffalo wings…

‘No, that wasn’t the strangest bit.

Masks Required in the Soup Kitchen

Masks Required in the Soup Kitchen

The air in the church basement was warm and heavy. The Deacon knew that soon the food would be gone. Ushering the pack back out to the cold, he would offer encouraging words and the hopeful invitation to return when more was available.

From the center of the seating area, a man suddenly farted. Loud and long. Against the metal folding chair, the fart’s reverberation sounded like a snare drum, and it served the same purpose. All eyes in the room snapped to him.

Blobs of sweat had dampened the edge of his face covering. He stood up shakily, clutching at the corners of cloth. “I — WILL — NOT — WEAR — A — MASK!”

Without a word, the Deacon put down the utensils and stepped out from behind the serving table. He grabbed a handful of the man’s hoodie and headed for the exit.

Returning, he latched the door and stomped the snow from his feet. He resumed serving with a silent smile.

Outside, the man shuffled down the walk. His backside smarted from the wet boot print. Maybe, he thought, I can score a coffee at the Burger King.

Story 1 — A Writing Process

He sits back, reading and rereading the three words sitting on the page; the remaining white space waits patiently for a story to coalesce. He sees the words form connections and can hear snippets of different stories containing a variety of plot lines and a multitude of points of view. They fountain forth, displacing what came before and washed away by what follows, until the fingers catch hold of words, sentences, paragraphs, and they appear as if by magic on the screen. He reads, edits, smooths, polishes but some burrs remain, inadvertently or not.

And then he does it again.

Story 2 — Planning Her Birthday

‘I said I wanted a molten chocolate fountain!’ Chelsey stomped her foot but the deep carpet of the hotel’s ballroom kept it from being heard.

‘Sweetheart, listen to reason: it isn’t practical.’

‘I don’t care, Daddy! I want it! I’ll only ever turn seven once!’ Her desire to angrily stomp was displaced by free flowing tears and loud snivelling whimpers.

‘Chelsey, please understand! What you want is a chocolate volcano! Everything and everyone will be covered!’

‘Fine’, she glowered. ‘I guess I don’t get pony rides either.’

He seriously contemplated it. At least it’d be less mess than the fountain.

‘Seven-year-old Jeremy Watkins is taking the art world by storm. His latest work, Thumbprint on Blue Reading Glasses, is expected to set records when it goes on auction this Friday. I have the privilege to interview him today.

‘Hello, Jeremy. To what do you attribute your success?’

‘Hello Tabitha. During the finger-painting phase of my childhood, I realized smudges were really out-of-focus fingerprints. Total lightbulb moment.’

‘What was the inspiration of your new piece?’

‘Originally I was drawn to index fingers and red glasses, but I expanded my focus, then voila.’

‘Hello sir, madam. There are two inflight meals to choose from. We have a lovely white fish, delicately steamed, with mushrooms in a butter sauce. The other choice is grilled venison with creamed spinach. Dessert for both is a French honey pastry.’

‘We’ll do one of each and share. Thanks.’

‘Of course! Here we go.’

One minute later…

‘Is this the fish or the deer? They look and smell the same.’

‘I was about to suggest we tell by the sides but they look the same too.’

‘Shall we get dessert? It might be ok?’

‘I’ll stick with water, thanks.’

In Alien Territory (Conclusion)

The exciting finish of a micro-fiction tale about a stranger who suddenly found himself in a strange, hostile land Terry Mansfield Follow Dec 20, 2020 · 2 min read

Five weeks had passed since the stranger crash-landed into a hostile environment. He knew his lifeforce was about to expire because his body had been unable to adapt. Thus, he began to lose hope. And then suddenly a ship appeared above him and sent a tractor beam down to pull him up to safety. But how could this miracle be? He had forgotten that his ship automatically emitted a distress rescue beacon in the event of a crash. Upon receiving the signal, his friends came as fast as they could, which turned out to be just in time to save him from dying.

THE END (of his time on Earth)

Welcome, friend! Have you need of Respite?
By: Caeona Murdoch
Tags: Microfiction, Fiction, Short Story, Fantasy, Short Fiction

The traveler was tired, after trudging along down a dusty dirt road for days upon days. Parched, exhausted, and in need of good company. There was no hope, however, for there was no town nor inn on his tattered map for miles. Another day spent walking alone, and another night on the side of the road it was, living on dandy weeds and pond water. The traveler was resigned to this hardship, for it was no stranger.

And then, out of nowhere, a small building arose out of the morning mist as the traveler made their way along the winding road, and so the traveler picked up the pace and followed the glowing warmth of light from within until they could see more clearly. It was not an illusion brought on by hunger, it was a tavern! And music pulsing, people clamoring to speak over one another, and a man smoking his pipe outside. Even so early in the morning? What was this place? It was bustling, but with no town for miles. It was not on any map. Was this, the fabled travelling tavern, always full to the brim and never without comfort and excitement?

The man smoking his pipe greeted fondly, in a gruff voice.

“Welcome, friend, have you need of respite?”

In Alien Territory (Part 1)

It had been three weeks since he crash-landed into this uncharted world. His protective covering suffered a severe breach, thus exposing him to an environment he was not used to, and causing extremely ill effects. With the passing of each new day, he felt his lifeforce slowly slipping away. And knew he must adapt or perish.

THE END (of him or not?)

Happiness — A Delusion. Mythical in the true sense
By: Mr.M, Muthu Raja
Tags: Microfiction, Life, Fiction, Life Lessons, Short Story

The morning will not get any better. Cloudy skies, mild drizzle and a cool breeze is an uncommon occurrence in the heart of summer. As a template, one among the herd of this generation’s tech, I was standing by to slog in my desk job. My beloved sapiens, again the ones from the herd were flying nearly at the speed of light in luxury vehicles, costly outfits, shades, shoes, phones etc, etc. completely oblivious to the surroundings. There was little to differentiate us from the machines. We do run for most part of our life to buy what we want (materialistic possessions) by losing our need (life). What not? We the sheep do have everything in our life, except the life. A set of people with EVERYTHING but NOTHING.

This incident happened while I was processing these thoughts as I do this every day with costly earphones on, changed my perspective. A man in his tarnished shirt and trousers was disposing garbage into his truck. There he is whistling a recognizable song, dancing or walking one could never tell, holding plastic bags with the feel of owning this world. I marveled, how could he do that?.

At first I was astounded, smiled, then hung my head in enigmatic guilt. He is the one who has NOTHING but still has EVERYTHING. This literally had opened my eyes, my inner self, and with the positive vibe I boarded the bus to live my template life.

Happiness is delusional. It is not about earning, it’s about living.

‘Hi Julie. I can’t decide what kind of food to order. Can you help?’

‘You have great taste so I trust your judgement. My inclination is to have Italian.’

‘Good choice.’

‘Or maybe asian fusion. ‘

‘Wonderful.’

Or there’s a new Canadian food place. The food comes in these cute little igloo containers.’

Inside/Outside

Tags: Microfiction, Breakups, Fiction, Short Story, Heartbreak

Inside/Outside

Image by Felipe Cespedes from Pexels

Daytime. Inside our room, we look at a window, not through it. The worn-out wooden frame still holds everything together after all of these years. Outside, the garden clings to life and, on the sidewalk, people walk by. We do not know who they are; we do not care. We are looking at the window.

From the living room, someone calls out our name. Ours.

We turn around, leave the room, and go downstairs. It’s time to go. Yesterday, we promised we wouldn’t fight, that this departure would flow smoothly. Why did we agree to such a compromise when this unexpected goodbye has been pushed down our throat?

Still, as they hand us our suitcase and demand their keys back, we take this bitter pill and swallow.
A New Year’s Big Apple Alternative

Prompts = Saturate, Glasses, Ribbon

Everyone knows about “The Big Apple” falling in Times Square every new year.

But no one knows about “The Massive Pitcher of OJ” in Kissimmee, Florida, where several hundred gallons of orange water pour into the “Drinking Glass Of The New Year”. That’s the event I attend yearly.

At last year’s event, as glitter and ribbons shot out of cannons, the bulwark holding the pitcher shifted and dumped its contents on the attendees. Thankfully, I wasn’t hurt. Amazingly, my glasses stayed on my face, but the lenses were so saturated, they were squishy.

I’m going this year. In a raincoat.

#Storyin12

Some measure of quiet solitude is quite necessary for contemplation, and masturbation.

#Storyin12

She trembled as the buzzing wand brought her closer to the precipice.

#Storyin12

Buzz, Sep 24th

Her plump lips, ripe with wanting;

His erect rod, into the slit.

Every session together seemed a quest to test his, and her, boundaries.

She liked him; naive, but tongue nimble, hips vigorous and spirit willing.

#Storyin12

Vigorous, Sep 21st

Her stream was strong and golden, splashing over her slaves’ upturned faces.

#Storyin12

Golden, Sep 20th

She pushed me away and out I came with a slick pop.

#Storyin12

Her moans from the opera box were masked by the soaring soprano.

Skin: A Dialogue with Myself

Photo Credit: Ricardo Garcia for Pexels.

If skin is the casing that keeps our insides in, then why am I feeling so inside out? Like a cat overturned, with its legs up and kicking, I find myself on my back screaming. Internally- of course, and lying down I should re-phrase, but the feeling I am trying to desperately describe is the same.

This seeping of self onto society’s floor. I cannot contain the leaking. When did the freedom of my youth become encapsulated in boxes, and stamped with labels?

One becomes lost in a sea of questions, when one does not understand themselves. I’m walking on the line of extinction trying to find the answers.
Thanks so much. 😃

Final Good-bye

Photo by Etienne Boulanger on Unsplash

I checked my boarding pass again. Fifteen minutes to departure.

I asked my wife with teary eyes, “Honey, are you sure you don’t want to come back with me?”

She held my hand and said, “Dear, I love this place, love the people, and love the uncomplicated, simple life here. This is where I belong.”

I squeezed her hand and sighed. I never thought our time-traveling vacation to the year 1955 would end up this way.

The gate agent announced: “This is the last call for passengers traveling to the year 2445.”

I hugged my wife one last time.
Thanks so much. I'll think about that. 😃

The Local Witch of the Turtle Village — Short Fantasy Story

Tags: Microfiction, Fiction, Writing, Short Story, Fantasy

Razh trudged up the steps carved into the side of one of their village crab’s chitinous legs, the warm sea breeze playing with her short, blonde curls. The ancient white crab creaked as it moved ever so slowly through the shallow waters of the inland sea.

Above her were the red-roofed houses of her small village. The pale castle soared in the very center of the shell.

Once upon a time Razh had run in a university cross-country team, but not even 10k races had prepared her for the workout that was walking up thousands of chitinous steps several times a week.

But she had been making that walk for years now, so she was barely out of breath by the time she climbed up to the shell proper. Her narrow three story-home was near the steps. The villagers gave her smiles and welcome signs as she walked the village paths to her home.

There were already several people waiting for her in the clinic she’d set up on the first floor of her home. Foreigners mostly. The tan ones were probably from other crabs that roamed sluggishly through the large sea. One dark skinned girl with a lace veil was possibly from the forest.

Razh wasn’t even thirty, but the people of the crabs treated her with the highest respect. It probably had more to do with her mysterious knowledge of magical medicine than her maturity.

Magical medicine that was mostly cough syrup and homegrown penicillin.

They thought she was a witch. Her eyes that shifted from green to blue to purple to yellow and through the colors of the rainbow helped. It was a change from the green eyes she’d had before entering the forest and a change from the grey eyes of the people of the crab.

After washing her hands with lavender soap a patient had paid her with, she knelt down next to a young boy who was clutching a dislocated shoulder.

A relocation, two doses of antibiotics, and a listen through a disguised stethoscope at her neighbor’s pregnant belly later and it was just the veiled girl left.

She lifted her veil, revealing shifting rainbow colored eyes in her dark face.

Razh’s mouth dropped open, her eyes shifting colors in unison with one even more foreign than she had thought.
Thank you 😃.
