It’s nice when the departing, dying mother does not screw her daughter into a dead light socket like Betty’s mother did.
Linnie said, “Yes I strangled your mother while you ate a sandwitch in the hospital cafeteria, and so have a obedient life sucker.

Ha Ha The Way Lois Died
She got the knife in her own room as she danced to the Rolling Stones and didn’t see it coming, ha, ha, ha! That was my start of a life of crime, and boy does it pay, more than any other girl I know: ha, ha, double ha.

He knew it was important, and so he tried to follow all of the doctor’s recommendations. But he had never before realized how expensive and time-consuming it was just to be healthy.
Not Sure What The Title Should Be
In a dimly lit room I panted and wondered how much longer I could hold on as the warm sweat wrapped my naked body. And then, without warning … it stopped.
I’m green
I didn’t really care about the millions of dollars or the newly purchased mid-century home in the hills, or even the Eames furniture that wasn’t replica. I just wanted my dead sister’s ticket for myself.
thanks, mom.
As Suzie watched her belly grow, her only hope was that her daughter would be as pretty as she was smart. And this must be where they got the saying, “be careful what you wish for,”—as her daughter was neither.
A Love Stronger Than Ours
She was the first person I ever loved; she was also the first person I ever killed. Just because someone is everything you want and need, doesn’t mean they’re not susceptible to the twisted things you do for your own sick pleasures.

Turning The Tables
The same completely honest look reflected in each others eyes, something between fear and power; She loosened her grip from around his neck.
Halitosis
Luckily, they both had a passion for garlic. If it had been only one of them, the relationship would have failed.
Alternative Conformity
She wanted so badly to rebel. So she went out and had her hair cut like all the other rebels, wore the same jeans as all the other rebels wore, and bought the same bracelets that all the other rebels bought.
He moaned, staring at a faded, curled pin up poster of a playmate, and tried to eat her brain. He came away with scraps of brittle paper stuck to his rotting teeth and something ticking like a metronome against his belly.
Haiku master say
Can’t haiku two sentences
In all seriousness, a boozy Anthropologist Tom, flanked by a bevy of Australian babes, said “Tomorrow we’re going deep into bush country.” Someone snickered.
Its jalapeno coloured eyes flickers with almost microscopic, heartlessly darwinian ecosystems. It gazes through a thousand generations dead on its jalapeno coloured eye-bubbles, and moistens thin lips with a pink alien tongue.
Fantastic insects drip down glossy broad planed leaves as the mist slithers in from all recognizable direction. The natives erupt silently, leading spears of molecule thin glass and gut the British explorers before they can ejaculate their favorite expletive.
