The thing about micropastas you seem to be neglecting is they have to be powerfully written. You need all the elements of a proper story condensed into a paragraph or less. You don't necessarily need a beginning middle and end, but there has to be a clear narrative. All your micropastas look like the very first sentence of the very beginning of a much longer narrative. You could snip the first 1-2 sentences off just about anything on this site and it would be about as effective—or rather ineffective—as these.
