I do love short flash games. As those who spot me on Second Life more than a few times throughout the day can guess, I spend a fair amount of the daytime saying unladylike things at the keyboard. 500-1500 words, and my easily spent mind is spent, and often a trip to our Virtual Victorian World is what I need for an hour or two.
But I often need a breather, not a two hour retreat. So I search for little ten minute games that don't use the keyboard and relax me. I dislike "shooters" (despite my undeserved reputation as an Airborne Annie Oakley), which actually limits my choices quite a bit. Still, it's a wide wide world wide web, and I find occasional gems.
This one is truly beautiful--

I won't spoil it by explaining the controls. Just use the mouse, and enjoy. Let us just say it is as far from violent as a game can be. The music is Children of Beslan by Steven Cravis, dedicated to the lives lost in the 2004 terrorist takeover of School Number One in Beslan, Russia.
