Daniel sat on a grassy hillock overlooking the town and sighed contentedly, peacefully, as a lazy breeze caressed the grass around him. It was a good way to spend his last three minutes alive.

Holy Trinity, You Bet Cha
How could it be that there is only ONE God and yet his messenger was also God; thus making TWO?
Now if there is TWO, then there must be a ghostly CONNECTION between, so that makes three, see?!!
He’s Here
Very old now, I trudge the beach noticing that even the tide comes in faster these days.
Slithering behind, Old Nick’s slimy swish is accelerating, and louder and oh so confident.
Hospital Work
I left my darling in the ICU, knowing that she would be well in a few days.
I returned after a short nap in the car to find that they had murdered her.

The big bang seemed a little ostentatious. On the whole, creation decided to downgrade itself to a level 3 reality impact;level 4 being X factor.

once i saw you in line at the cinema.
i’d already seen that movie.
Before And After
Before zombies ambushed Santa Claus and ate his brains, he lived in Tahiti, wore a grass skirt, was clean shaven, employed only human union members in his toy factories, used horses to pull a gift-filled buggy, and delivered presents by entering children’s homes through front doors.
After receiving a new brain in a botched operation, he moved to the North Pole, wore only red suits, grew a beard, employed only non-union elves in his factories, used reindeer to pull a gift-fill sleigh, and delivered presents by entering children’s homes through filthy chimneys.
going away
what we’ve got now we’ve got to give it up. but we can’t give up now
Once Upon A Time…
The Evil Witch hated Snow White; Snow White moved in with the Seven Dwarves.
The world has been Grimm ever since.
Business Is Business
As the huge pot began to boil, Harry hollered, “I have herpes, syphilis, leprosy, so I’ll taste lousy, not to mention cannibalism causes madness and tribal extinction.”
His non-English speaking captors were entrepreneurs, not cannibals, so they sold the 30 gallons of chunky soup, 150 patties, 28 pounds of jerky and 500 sausages they derived from Harry’s carcass to tribes that were.
Juncture
With the grim prognosis delivered in the sterile environment of the doctor’s office, James scooted his chair closer to Sarah’s, patting her hand, realizing she was at a juncture in her life for mending fences with her estranged sibling, even though he knew reconciliation would be difficult after so many years of hurt feelings stemming from a long ago forgotten slight.
“Absolutely not,” was Sarah’s initial reaction to the suggestion followed by, “I’m not in the mood to listen to helpful hints from the healthy,” leaving James to understand any bringing of the two together would be solely up to him.
Big Top
The thickly applied make-up became grotesque beneath the unforgiving fluorescent lighting, illuminating the horror lurking in the face of a thousand nightmares. I wondered then how I’d managed to wind up in the staff toilets at the Spurling Brothers circus.
Clean Slate
Robotic computers annihilate mankind. Earth reboots.
From E.H
Just look at me, I’m rolling over in my grave. What ever happened to writing the old-fashioned way, with pencil?
Love & Bottle of Bleach
I love you…I love you…I love you. “Right, you, ya little twat – clean it off, I’ve just painted that fuckin’ wall!”
Oh, for Heaven’s Sake
“Lars, the sheep was one thing, but that goat’s hoofs are puncturing the waterbed.”
“But, honey, you said you liked animals.”
Finally
Sitting on a stairway, sweat turning my skin into a shiny sheen, I see the light.
“You can come home now.”
Happy Ending
She chortled when she saw me, so I shot her in the heart. But as she lay dying, the look of amusement never left her eyes.
A Fatal Error
When he was given the green light by his government to travel back in time to the dinosaurs’ era, he was so proud of being given the chance to eye-witness an event that beggared description that he forgot, under a state of confusion and bewilderment, to take with him the most essential device.
He forgot the coming back mechanism—a small box that sends signals to the time machine to teleport him back to his era—and was consequently stuck with the dinosaurs without the slightest chance of coming back to the twenty third century, but he kept hoping that the rescue team would show up any time until he realized, after some days of harsh survival, that the time machine, he invented, was holding a tricky device that would ruin its circuits after twenty four hours of his departure.
She Got the Job
She got the job because of something beginning with the letter ‘b’. It wasn’t brains.
