Stick 'em up

People started screaming, some ran out the door like their life depended on it. The security guards surrounded us and pointed their weapons at me. My mother turned to look at me in disbelief and dumbfoundedly mouthed, “what happened?” Seems that when your mouth is half full of food, you shouldn’t try loudly explaining to your partially deaf mother “this is rubbery” at the national bank.

Haunted

I remember how exhausting taking care of a young child could be. The constant crying, the nappy changes, it made me all the more glad mine had grown up. I couldn’t help but feel bad for the new neighbours though, their child screamed all night. “Good morning” I said, “hard time getting the baby to sleep last night?” They both looked confused and asked, “What baby?”

Golf

“Well the sign said Tiger Woods!” exclaimed Mark as he lowered his head in a rather feeble attempt to avoid his wife’s burning stare. “How was I supposed to know that it wasn't a golf exhibit?” Sally’s look didn't wander for a second. She sighed at her husband as she finally turned away to grab more gauze and surgical spirit. “Mark, we were at the zoo!”

Today's Newspaper

“But grandpa told me that he used to swat flies with the newspaper!” said little Timmy apologetically as he looked up at his angry mother. Sarah rubbed her furrowed brow and dismissed Timmy from the  table with a loud sigh. Sarah groaned as she grabbed the table brush and swept away a fly carcass and the remnants of her brand new tablet off the kitchen counter.

Man Juice

A lone drop of his “man juice” dribbled slowly down the length of my arm. I licked it off in anticipation as I held on to its source. I was curious, and the taste was new to me. He looked at me in disgust and threw his now empty juice box to the floor. He turned and yelled “You cootie filled little monster! I’m telling mum!”

The Dancer

People feared her despite her trying to impress them with her dancing. She danced because her life depended on it. She felt trapped. Being enclosed in such a small place angered her, but she couldn’t escape. She just kept on dancing gracefully, but the people still walked away in fear. She slowly died as all the firewood burnt out, leaving her remnants in the small fireplace.

Holding On For Dear Life

With tears in her eyes she held on to him, scared that she was about to lose her best friend forever. She wasn’t ready to let go. “NO!” she yelled as she watched him slip out of her hands. All hope was lost. She had failed to save him. She sat there crying as she watched the school bully run away with her favorite teddy bear.
