  1. Priority (t)

    Melissa and Jack were so involved in their conversation about the number of Powerball tickets they should buy that they didn't notice the fire storm heading right for them. Evidently, a number of flammable constituents in the Pacific Ocean had reached their flash point.

  2. Isolation (t)

    Elsie loves living in the desolation of the desert. No neighbors, the glorious smell of sagebrush, and the Sun doesn't hit her place until about 10 AM.

  3. Do It Yourself (t)

    Reliance Overbury asked Junior to take care of an ant infestation while Reliance was in town gambling. Reliance said nothing about not using dynamite to remedy the situation.

  4. Inconspicuous (t)

    Sam was pretty sure these two padlocked buildings contained maintenance equipment. So, when he accidentally kicked the right combination of rocks and the buildings jettisoned revealing the noses of two Minutemen missiles, well, he was, to say the least, shocked!

  6. Blinded Relief (t)

    Homer Growlingbowel made a quick pitstop. He was sitting there minding his own business when a brilliant light lit up the landscape. Homer doesn't remember what happened after that, but, he sure felt lighter.

  7. The Sighting (t)

    Herb the Parasaurolophus had heard all the old wives tales of an odd-looking creature that kind of glided along the ground. But, he knew they were just rumors and there Could Not Possibly be anything like that. He chalked it up to bad veggies.

    (Yes, this is a composite. I added the motorized vehicle.)

  8. Da Croc (p)

    This poor guy looked like he needed a meal. He had plenty of opportunities, but, never took advantage of the situation. I told him we could make a run for some chicken or a cow, but, he didn't seem interested. I hope he survived.

  9. Waiting

    You hear all those stories about trolls turning to stone in the sunlight. Poor Mona didn't know she had troll blood in her family tree. Thinking back, it makes perfect sense why her family never ventured out in the daylight!

  10. Available For Parties

    Norman was bored with his job. He did the same thing night after night. Diffusing light. He was ready for a change. Maybe he could become a standup comedian or a rock star. He would even consider being melted down and repurposed as a bottle or window pane.

  11. Security (t)

    Horace lives on the third floor of this building. Nobody knows he's there. Well, most of the time nobody knows. Sometimes, Horace slips up and walks through a wall with people in the room. Horace has a hard time remembering he's a ghost.

  12. Window Shopping

    Cecil the Tree brought his kids here every night and stood in front of this window. Cecil would tell the same story every night about how his younger brother didn't obey his parents and now, you can buy his body parts in this store!

  13. Boards

    Slow George seemed to be mesmerized by these lights. He stood here for hours at a time for three nights in a row. Turns out, George thought he was in line for ice cream. Smoking fatties will do that to you.

  14. Boardwalk (t)

    Albert and Ebenezer loved Halloween. They liked scaring people, especially, little old ladies and young children. They spent many happy years sitting on this building screaming, "Boo", as people walked by. They had so much fun, they forgot to eat!

  15. Going To The Chapel

    Lizzie was staring at this window when the Shadow Man entered the room. The Shadow Man is in charge of the Blood Room and the blood was drying out. It needed to be replenished. The floor was getting rather sticky from coagulation.

  16. Griddle

    Lucas was in the middle of cooking when the power went out. After checking the circuit breaker, Lucas realized he wouldn't be finishing his slab of former neighbor Harry any time soon.

  17. Thermostat

    To Phil, it seemed like the temperature never registered much of a change in the old thermostat no matter how hot or cold the room was. Turns out, it wasn't filled with mercury. It was filled with Sally's blood and Bill did it.

  18. After Burn

    John Attractsbolts has been hit by lightning 57 times and survived. Unfortunately, things around him aren't so lucky!

  19. Guardians

    Dendron and Gigant always dreamed of traveling. They just can't seem to uproot themselves. Their older brother, Drongig, did manage to see the inside of a sawmill, but, that's a story for another time.

  20. Wrong Story

    it was at this moment that Darth realized he wasn't dressed in his normal garb and that wasn't Obi-Wan. This was the beginning of a bad dream!

  21. Possible Delay (t)

    I sure hope things go alright. We had Rudolph over for dinner last night and I think he had a little too much eggnog.

  22. Contained (t)

    These signs used to tear up the town when they were younger. They would stay lit up all night long, partying! You would expect them to mellow out a bit when they reached a certain age, but, it didn't happen. Eventually, they had to be contained for their own safety.

  23. Briefly Pays To Be High (t) (B/W)

    The advantage was that the perch is off the ground. Walkers can't climb. Even the former linemen weren't coordinated enough any more to climb.

    The disadvantage was that when 4,623 walkers accidentally push on the pole, the structure falls. Dinner time!

  24. Heartbreak (t)

    River Birch: "I'm telling you, Doc, it feels like my skin is peeling off and I itch all the time. I've tried changing soap, shampoo, diet! Nothing seems to help. What? Psoriasis? I haven't tried that yet. Is it over-the-counter?"

  25. The Gathering (t)

    Every year about this time, a new group of friends got together to take bets on who would be the last on the tree. Unfortunately, there was no joy in being last because there was nobody to share the moment with.

  26. What He Saw (t)

    An hour after ingesting wild mushrooms, Theodore began to doubt his choice. Perhaps the ones growing in the manure were not proper salad ingredients.

  27. Confident (t)

    Mortimer figured he made a clean getaway. He had a two hour lead on the posse. There was no way they could track him!
