Era quase meio-dia. Pedro, estudante da Unicamp, não aguentava mais esperar pelo almoço. Sua

Snaking his hands into a secret compartment in his desk he pulls out a piece of candy. It’s not his favorite but his grandmother made them for him. He sucked away nostalgically, looking out the window beside him. It looks like it’s going to rain, he thinks thoughtfully to himself

The thunderous clatter of a ruler baring all the annoyance and bitterness of an ill tempered teacher disturbed the little peace he had. The homemade plum candy jumped from his cheek and clicked onto the floor as if every loud bounce snitched to the class of his forbidden treasure

A mouse was peeking out from a hole in the baseboard. Squeaker usually didn’t forage until the children went home for the day, but that moist sugary piece of candy was worth the risk. She made mad a dash for the fallen treat. She grabbed it with her mouth, then ran for the

tiny opening in the wall. She was nearly there when her little mouse paws halted to a stop. This piece of candy smelly funny, she thought. She took a tiny nibble and

instantly spat it out. "Hašlerky!" she cried, "The herbal Czech hard candy!" So that's where the family had been those two weeks last summer—in Prague! Immediately her little mousy sniffer ignored the medicinal morsel and had noticed another odor wafting through the house. It was

...garlic. Lots and lots of garlic. "Oh dear," she sighed. "Looks like someone's making their famous Hungarian goulash."

She’d never seen or heard of this drink before, but the moment she saw it, she had to try it. It had thin slices of banana, espresso, foamed milk, a mix of spices. The rim of the glass was coated with thick crystals of raw sugar. It was glorious!

Quickly removing the shoe from her left foot, she quickly poured this glorious drink into it. She then ordered a tall glass of chocolate milk and, now removing her right shoe, she poured the milk into that one. “Wonderful!” She proclaimed.

With a crazed smile she held both shoes in either hand and carefully touched her lips to the opening of each and tipped both liquid filled shoes to mix an atrocious brew of chocolate milk and licorice wine. She shook her head making a nasty froth. The bartender was dumbfounded.

The bartender coughed to grab her attention."Ma'am, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave you're disturbing my customers and frankly you're disturbing me as well."
She replied,"Oh get a grip can't you just let a girl have a drink."

“…But mam, you’ve been spiking the other customers drinks, you can’t just-“ As her eyes begin to close she realized that on accident she had drugged her drink too, and as her eyelids drooped shut, everyone watched, but she never woke again.

A terrible toast

So welcome to today's channel. We will be investigating the strange sights at Tokyo. We have a special guest tonight: Romeo Lucci!

Ciao everybody! And thank you for joining us as we explore strange sights in Tokyo. We’ve stumbled into a haunted Victorian Internet cafe! Where pale floating women in the most ornate gowns serve tea in vintage cups! How meravigliosa! Next episode we explore a nude anime garden!

The director said “CUT” and I sighed. I was in an entirely green room in Secaucus, NJ. Not only was I hosting a virtual travel show, half the locations we “visited” were completely fictional. I felt sorry for any viewers who tried to visit these locations.

"Now," the director said, "this next scene is going to be at a Scottish lake called Loch Lock. You're going to peer out over the dark waves...Tommy, turn on the fan to get a breeze in their hair...And...Action!" But I just couldn't gaze into that green screen anymore. I mumbled,

“Wazzibbidy wazibbidy doo!” And was instantly transported home, back to my fluffy oversized couch with my book about Scottish travel. Well, I thought, I guess I checked that box! I shelved the book and opened another.
