Hemi-Demi-Semi-Drabbling

You're probably already familiar with the concept of a drabble (if not, where were you in February?), a piece of fiction of exactly one hundred words. Today, I was introduced to the concept of a hemi-demi-semi-drabble: that is, a piece of fiction totalling exactly twelve-and-a-half words. Seeing as, no matter how I try, I can't ever seem to write a piece of fiction totalling more than seven or eight thousand words, this appeals to me. Surely I can manage twelve-and-a-half?

Here's my first:

The Goddess

Seeing her there, I finally understood how beaut- no; she was a goddess.

And here's another:

Courting Disaster

Coldly, the judge made his verdict: guilty. Disconsolate, the defendant cried out, "Noo..."

It's harder than it looks. Give it a go.
