  1. Summit (t)

    Antimony loves this time of year. It's when his backyard is full of tall plants. It doesn't happen every year, but, when it does, Antimony climbs them all continuously day and night. Ants like that!

  3. Alone (t)

    Jerome was kind of standoffish. He felt all the support he required he already had. He didn't need to mingle with other structures. As years passed, Jerome grew sad and unfulfilled until he realized it was because he had no contact with other structures. Jerome joined a tower support group and got a good line on himself.

  5. Fellowship (t)

    Glóin the Dwarf finally found a place he could stay out of the limelight generated by that bastard, Tolkien, and further popularized by Peter Jackson's movies. What a pain in the butt. Everyone always asking, "Do you know Frodo? What's Gandalf really like? How hot was Smaug?"

  7. Dribble (t)

    It was pretty apparent to Scott that the kayak he had lugged the last mile wasn't going to be much use today. So much for the Class V rapids touted by the local tourism board.

  9. Hot Dog (t)

    Corky Jones recorded a rockabilly tune called "Hot Dog" for the Pep label in 1956 (maybe). Turns out Corky Jones was a pseudonym for Buck Owens. He didn't want the fact that he'd recorded a rock n' roll tune to hurt his country career. It didn't.

    Somewhere in the City is an annual high stakes poker game. Invitation only. Not always the same players. Generally, City Departments with the least to gain are invited.

  13. Misconception (t)

    Well, Breeze was really surprised when he realized he had signed up for three years as chief bottle washer at a Zen temple instead of getting a free carwash. At that moment, Breeze decided maybe his investment in the language course, Rosetta Stoned, was a waste of money!

  15. Tales Passed Down (t)

    Rafferty didn't understand what the big deal was. The path was solid, mostly straight and pretty smooth. The elders told all the kids not to take the path. Those who did, never returned. Rafferty felt a little vibration and then blackness as the train passed. Another snail tale.

    Boris and Natasha sunk all their money into a multiple zip line business. According to surviving riders, it was an electrifying experience.

  22. Tanked

    The oldtimer bulls at the Bena Corral like to scare the youngsters by telling them if they don't give them their carrots, they will be sent to the slaughterhouse. The slaughterhouse was really a fertilizer plant that closed down in the 1940s, but, the old boys get a lot of carrots with the story.

  24. Thirds Blow

    Ricco was still recovering from the massive honey bee smothering that took place yesterday. The bees pretty much massaged every part of his body and his vision is a little blurry today.

  26. It Will Never Pass (t)

    At first, Naomi thought there was a fire on the horizon. But, it didn't smell like smoke. Then, Naomi realized what it was. The stench of politics!

  30. Realization (t)

    Earless the Elephant Seal started thinking something was terribly wrong. He could see the waves lapping on the shoreline, but, the Sun was setting in the East. He stayed in school long enough to know that wasn't right.

  33. Last Butt

    I'm really surprised I don't see more rats running around downtown. Most of the glimpses are when they crawl out of a vent and grab a quick smoke.

  35. Wrong Side Of The Tracks (t)

    Bill was really lucky. He made it to the water tank. It took him about 33 hours, but, it was worth it. Unfortunately, the rest of Bill's group forgot how frequently trains pass over these tracks. Snails are pretty slow and don't understand what vibrations in the tracks mean.

  37. Tied To You (t)

    Sometimes, I don't pay attention. Okay, a lot of times I don't pay attention and it's probably getting worse the older I get. I always assumed railroad ties were wooden. Wood was all I ever noticed. I stand corrected. These suckers must weigh around 700 lbs. each.
