Can’t Stop Smiling
Lucy’s family lived by one rule. NEVER STOP BEING HAPPY.
Everyone loves people
“I suspected this,” muttered he, gripping the steering wheel, his knuckles whitening and his mind becoming more troubled with each passing moment of this infuriating scenery.

My Ordinary Life
I got up, dazed and confused. I looked around. I saw an angel to the left, and a cloud on the ground. I was sitting on a golden throne. "Who am I?" I asked the angel. The angel panicked. "What--what do you mean, my Lord?" "I don't know who I am." The angel gulped. "You are God."

Buzzards, bread, and cardinals.
The whole family gathered around the fire for our seasonal burning of dried cornstalk. While my brothers and sisters were captivated by the swirling glow, my eyes were captured by the sky. Beyond the field of golden rye, a buzzard circled the pasture.

One Pizza at a Time
They say that hell is other people, which turns out to be literal given the number of people I see below. You can’t see the ground in this valley of Hell because of all the people in it. I sigh and begin hiking down the slope.

Moral: dilemma
The endlessly flowing wine and tasty crudités were exceptional, but the finest thing about that evening was that none of the guests knew I was the killer.

Mayo, buttons, and time travel oh my!
Mrs Perkinson loved mayonnaise and and buttons, so she did what any old woman who lived alone in her 70s would do: She built statues with them. The mayonnaise hardened into a rock hard shell and the buttons were satisfying to click together. She built a castle out of them.

Contingency Claus
On the night before Christmas, in all the world, millions of Children wait for Santa Claus.
Pitch Black
The VOID Dimension was to be in 1991, and the boss named VOID Secret was in 1993 I suppose, but don't worry, they were hidden good at the moment when the Other Dimension were trying to kill them honestly, but, the VOID was very strong, so nothing can stand a chance for this.

The Fart and the Furious
Everyone was in shock. They couldn't even gather up their minds after what they have just witnessed

Storm of Introspection
The sound of raindrops on dried leaves was everpresent. Others ran from the bus stop towards home, cursing, hands over their heads, in a futile attempt to not get wet by the sudden storm. I choose to enjoy it, embrace the cold drops on my face. I feel alive. Then thunder cracks.
The Storm
It was a beautiful night; the moon was shining, and the stars were twinkling. In the cold waters we sailed, back and forth we went as the waves tossed us. All the sudden, the crew commanded by our leader seen upcoming gray clouds ahead. I then heard someone shout, "STORM AHEAD!"
The Streets Will Run Red with Marinara
A long time ago…there lived a chimney sweeper and his family, who ran a not very well-known chimney sweeping business in a very distant and isolated town you probably have not heard of. Now the chimney sweeper and his family have often tried to do their best, as they were poor

Death and Tartar: Part II
"How do I return to life?" I asked the angel. "There is no way," the angel told me, "you should just live your life in happy bliss as you are expected to." Suddenly, I saw Geovani, prince of the Ta-Ta Tartar Sauce empire, walk towards me. "They have endless tartar sauce here!"

This little place at the edge of everything.
The Diner At The End Of The World sits on the edge of a great cliff that leads to the gnarling waters of the Atlantic below. Although nauseating for some, for others it was something short of a strange sight to be seen, especially in the fog of an early morning when it’s red glow

Rock and Stone
In a “survival of the fittest” world where whoever knows the most karate rules… there is one man who dares stand for justice. One man who speaks for and protects the weak.

What is Love?
Falling out of love is exactly how it seems. Life loses colour. You’ve lost a part of you. You’re in denial at first and try to pretend that the feelings are still there but no matter how hard you try hate shadows and grows stronger by the day. You wonder how this has happened.

Master of Your Domain
Elaine and George had planned to meet at the diner. They were surprised to find that it was now a chain drugstore. They went to Starbucks instead. Elaine asked “have you heard anything from Kramer since he left the city?” George sighed. “Yeah, he’s gone off the deep end.”

Cheesy Weezy
Reid walked through the doors of the official Coachella Tragedy Memorial. As she snuck into the restaurant, getting past the workers, she felt no remorse. Instead, she programmed the speakers to play the music that, 7 years ago, hijacked some people’s heads. This piece? It made

We Love ChatGPT (except for the Plot Holes)
Eli Wilkins, this is our man. He's said to clean at the hospital on Mondays and Thursdays from 8pm to 11pm. He was described by his neighbor as " curved" and "alive". We suspect he may have wandered out of the security perimeter. He was last seen November 24 just before midnight
