     Waking up one morning, you decide to check the mail since no one else is up yet. Opening the mailbox you find an envelope inside addressed to you, but it has no return address. Ripping the paper open, inside you find a letter with a list of things to do on it and there’s no name mentioned to give you a clue as to who it came from. There’s money also provided in the envelope for you to get the things on the list.

     Curious to where this may lead, you go to the first place on the list. At Piggly Wiggly grocery store you pick up some fresh strawberries and some chocolate syrup. Crossing it off the list, you head for the next place.

     At the adult bookstore in Clarksville, you pick up some red fuzzy handcuffs and a silk black tie. Thinking that this better not be a prank, you again pay for the items stated on the list and mark them off.

     Down at Bell’s, you pick up the flowers that were already under your name, and pay the lady for them. Crossed it off and that was all that was on the list. Now you’re wondering whether to go home of not, cuz if your wife sees the red handcuffs she’ll be wondering what the hell is going on and who with, and you still have no idea how to answer those questions yourself.

     Leaving the florist, going back to your car a man stops you and asks, “Sir, are you Nick Stamos?” You tell him yes and begin to ask him why, he responds, “I can’t answer your questions, I was told that you’d probably ask some and I was to tell you nothing except that you are to go to Deerfield Inn and check in under the name John Doe and you’ll be escorted to your room. You are instructed to wait outside, holding the flowers and the bags with everything else in them, and be wearing the tie over your eyes.”

Short Stories

     One day you get an email telling you that I’ve been kidnapped, no name signed anywhere, no address, no clue whatsoever to where I am. Worried you frantically call the house number here and some guy answers, you ask him where I am and what’s going on.

     He tells you there's an ongoing investigation and that I was indeed kidnapped. I was seen by the old woman across the road, being drug outta the house by my hair, wearing only my bra and panties. I was shoved into a light brown, ugly car that had completely disappeared by the time the cops got there. Four older ugly men had come and got me.

     The police filled you in on the rest and you decided to look for me, you look everywhere here in town looking for a car with the same description but find nothing. At last you decided to go down by the lake and hunt for me.

     Spying a brown car and 3 men talking beside it, you hide and wait for them to leave, just knowing that you had finally found a clue. But the 4th man is nowhere in sight. Hearing a woman's scream, you impatiently search around trying to locate where it came from. Seeing another man leaving a shed back behind the house, you think you've found me. Sneaking around the side of the house waiting for the man to go back inside, you hear a moaning sound like, someone in pain.

Little Runaway

Folder: 
Short Stories

     Asia Hernandez looks out her bedroom window, seeing kids playing in the road. Living in the rundown part of town, there were no cars that passed through. Only cars around were junked out ones sitting on the curb, waiting to be fixed.

Leaving her window to exit her room, walking down the stairs, Asia sees that her mama is strung out on coke again. Lea Hernandez, passed out on the couch doesn’t even notice her daughter’s tears.

     Asia wants to leave this place but has nowhere to go, no one to turn to. With no father ever in the picture, there’s no one to convince her mother to quit the drugs. Deciding to run away, just to get away from it all, Asia heads back upstairs to pack.

     Grabbing an old blue jean backpack from the closet, she packs it with shirts, bras, pants, and undies. Going into the bathroom, she grabs her deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, and a hairbrush; shoving it all into the bag too.

     Back downstairs again, Asia sneaks out the backdoor hoping no one sees her. Running silently through backyards, and old alleyways, Asia emerges in a part of town way worse than where she lived. Shadows leap at her from the dark.

     Scared, not knowing where she’s going or from which way she came, Asia tries to find somewhere to hide, hoping not to be found by whoever was in the shadows. Finding a box beside a trashcan, she hides behind it. She watches the man pass by, but squeals a little when a rat runs over her shoe.

Apart Brilliance Perfumes

Harvest Colours from the Rainbow



This autumn in Berlin, the State Exhibition Grounds of Hall number 9 lived flamboyant world colours. Traders from various corners presented their wares. Eager to do business, every participant highlighted their best; using spotlights, focus, and an array of imaginations.



At the yearly import shop fair, another few days of radiant activities in the city showered optimism, a welcome change from prolonged coverage of negative news, no work, no jobs …



Precisely numbered stands decorated, as per representing countries. Corridors lay with red carpets, a pleasure for saunters. Christmas, knocking doors, visitors wore buying moods. November mizzle could not dampen lofty spirits, forcing sunshine stretch happy hours.



Partitioned by a restaurant, sapping beer, neighboured by Russia and Turkey marquee selling costume jewelleries, Rati felt lucky at the location of their stand. They need not go far for quick nourishes when hungry, between ten to six o’clock in the evenings.



Voices of merry kids merged obliging parents. Groups of bouncing schoolchildren carrying rucksacks, escorted by teachers stopped at stalls buying knick-knacks, trinkets, souvenirs. Hands in pockets, sombre wholesalers fixed appointments to discuss their orders. Insisting spouses convinced each other on their choice articles.



Rushing end to end in tempo, her customers’ demand, Rati answering queries, replaced sold articles at an enormous. Her colleagues too were breathlessly joyous, delighted to provide in exchange of crisps.



Their items were imports from India. Rati like a handful of other Indians lived in the capital of Germany, working freelance.

She was wearing a cute white top with short sleeves and a round neck, the neck and the end of the sleeves were trimmed with red. on the front was a cute anime girl with green hair to her jaw line, a white long sleeve top beneath blue dungarees and an ear piece, her  left arm raised and hand balled in a fist like she was punching the air in victory, her eyes matched her hair, on the back of the top was A girl with long red hair (not ginger) that matched her eyes, she also wore an ear piece, a white blouse with a tight buttercup yellow top and a burgundy ribbon around her neck tied in a bow.

Her mind

It was strange her tiredness had gone

As if it had outlived it’s self

And now her mind was serene yet detached

The Witch in the Forest.....

Folder: 
FUN POEMS







The Witch in the Forest, , , had a

"terrible rep'...

for years and years, people

had thought that she ate

children..and "Their children"!

to be more exact!!!



But, heavens no!

This witch, had cable!

This witch loved to cook!

She watched all of the

food channel shows!



When two little children,

(Hansel and Grethel,

respectfully)

came to her door, one

fine November morning,

she bustled to the front

door!

"Oh, My! Two Weetle Chewdren"

(that is how she said it!)

The two children knocked,

politely...and the witch hurried

to open the door for them!



"Come in, Come in,

you are most welcome!"

Then Hansel said,

"We are terribly lost, and

my sister is starving, well,

so am I!"

The witch had "instant

dinner guests!" (and no,

she wasn't going to

eat them!")



"Would you two like to sit

down? I have just made

a very fine meal, fit for a

a nobleman!" she said

beaming widely.

The children smiled and

nodded.

Soon, they had gone thru

the Asian Chicken Salad,

the crablegs, and the tofu

soup, and the large Texas

toast, and the strawberry

rhubarb cobbler!

"Would you two like

anything else? " she

politely asked them.

"No. we are FUUULLLL!"

they laughed together.



Those two children

had never known that the

Witch in the Woods could

cook so fine, and or make

such a delicious and

satisfying meal, as she had

cooked that very night!

"YOU are the Bomb!"

said the boy.

"YOu sure can cook, and

bake!" said the little

girl!

"Do you think so?!" asked the

forest witch, quite pleased.



"Oh, definitely so!" the two

children said with gusto,

in unison.

"Why, you should open up

a restaurant...I 'd bet that

many, many

people would come to

eat here!"
