I gazed upon the gorgeous full moon in the horizon. Then I felt my heart skip a beat when I noticed it was growing bigger.
When I tried to open the door, I realized with frustration that I locked myself out of my new home. After the police throw me to the ground and tase me for breaking into my own house, I hear a woman’s voice say “I live next door, and no one his color lives in my neighborhood, so that can’t be his house.”
I slammed the brakes, and eyed the rear view mirror where the reflection of an injured dog whimpered. Grinning, I put the car in reverse and hit the gas.
When the gunfire & screams started, I hid among the museum's exhibit of cursed magical weapons & armor. As soon as the new round of screams stopped, a symphony of unearthly voices emerged from my mouth telling the last of the slaughtered gunmen, "My reign of blood is only beginning."
After years without speaking to him, you fight back tears as your son’s smiling face appears on the screen, as you talk for hours about everything that has happened since he left. But as the grin suddenly falls from his lips, his familiar warmth sagging into an alien look of robotic blankness, he flatly drones “Free trial has expired”.
I casually accepted the Terms and Conditions on the latest update. It's been 5 hours and my phone won't turn back on.
My cat was curiously watching the butterflies and bees working over a patch of Texas wildflowers near my driveway when I playfully picked her up and tossed her gently into the flower patch so that I could take some pics of her for Easter.

My doctor said I should be more open minded about the procedure. It's hard to argue with him during a lobotomy.
Before my mom passed away, she made me promise to always stay in school. I hold back tears as I enroll in my next semester at 86 years old...
I would spend hours watching TV as a kid, and this thanksgiving I told my mom that those shows realy made me who I am. "What tv?" She said.
I wondered what the SJS stood for next to my allergy list as I took my septra… But I soon found out when my skin began to fall apart as I shivered from cold in the hot room.
I laughed at the slingshot ride operator when he yelled that I wasn't properly strapped in. A few seconds later I realized that he wasn't pranking me.
I always remember my father telling me that a tree which has darker leaves than its neighbors can indicate that a body is buried among the roots. So when I killed my father recently after he sexually molested me once too often, I kept in mind what he had said and disemboweled his corpse, before loading the body cavity with rocks and sinking him in the nearby lake.
