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.

Zap (t)

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

You Are Next, Bud!

This is Woody the Cat's "I can take this guy" look when he thought it was time for his toy to play.

It Wasn't Entirely Quiet

I suspect that a night visit may be in order.

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!

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.

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.

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?"

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.

Protected

Rock piles on Rancheria Road in Kern County, California almost always have an Oak tree growing close by. Lizards need shade once in a while.

Tanked

Atticus Lambord was known for his mountain dew. It had a distinctive gas tank rust flavor. But, after the first sip, you couldn't really taste anything anyway, so, no one fussed about the odd flavor. One of his most popular batches was what he called '84.

Bovine Abode

Bossie The Cow got a really good deal on her new condo. She may have to do a bit of exterior painting before her friends visit. Maybe even repair the front door.

Tingly Feeling (p)

Cooper swears this is the last time he goes to Madame Juju's Hair Safari to get his nails trimmed. There's just something about the place that puts him on edge. The experience reminds him of the time he peed on Mr. Olson's electric fence.
