Tiny Terrible Tale, take TWO: The Death of a Pen





"Stories left untold, words unwritten, yet here I lie at the bottom of a trashcan with ink still in my heart."


"Oh, do shut up!" Said the half eaten doughnut.

Daily Drabble 30: Corpses


"It must be weird with all of the corpses."
"What?"
"For the trees."
"Still not followin' ya, hon."
"So what if all the statues were like actually corpses? And some other something uses them to do whatever."
"Is this what your fancy college classes, I paying for, teach you?"
"No dad! I thought of this on my own. Like electrical poles are the corpses of trees and they're all around the living trees. Isn't that sad?"
"Well... bodies, buried in the ground, once broken down, feed the trees. So they use our corpses too."
"Isn't the circle of life grand?"

Tiny Terrible Tales 1: Shark and Cow

Guest Staring: Bee and Zebra

Late one night while camping, Cow was sitting by the fire, meditating on the flames. Shark came up behind him.
"Whatcha doin'?" Shark asked.
"Meditating on the fire," said Cow.
"Cool." Said Shark and he ate him.
He then sat in Cows empty chair and meditated on the fire until Bee and Zebra showed up. Then, they ate him.

THE END

Drabble Dream 19: Pilot

I was in a plane or a spaceship and getting ready to take off. I was a certified pilot and had been flying for years.
“Are you sure you can do this?” The voice was outside the plane or spaceship.
I rolled my eyes. “I’ve been doing this for years. I know what I’m doing.”
“But you’re blind!”
I was. But I had the controls memorized. I could do this! I could… crap. Did I just run into the side of the hanger?
“Abort! Abort!” I shouted.
“You’re not even out of the building!” The voice screamed. “You’re on FIRE!”

Daily Drabble 29: Post-it Inspiration

Post-it found in one of the books returned at the library today:
"Xemes play the xylophone in former Xanadu, Southeast Aisa."

When he woke in former Xanadu, Xemes was surprised. He managed to avoid Aisa despite it sitting right on top of the Southeast Asia. Most folks slipped easily between the two once they knew that the shadow land was there. Aisa was an escape from the responsibilities waiting in Asia. But no matter how hard anyone tried, they stretched like rubber bands and would always snap back. No one could stay for longer than a week. At least not until Xemes. After he’d been there for a month, he realized he would never snap back. That’s when the xylophone arrived.

Daily Drabble 28: CAKE!



Love                                              Love
Love yourself                                 Love yourself
Love yourself with a cake                Love yourself with a cake
Love yourself with a birthday cake  Love yourself with a birthday cake
Love yourself with a birthday cake made of ice cream cream and cake
Because it is your birthday you deserve to do the things you want
If you understood what this was about you would already know
You would know why it is important how it is awesome
While it is about cake it is not about cake
It is always about much more
It is about love
Love of self
Love
