So... I have now read half of the tiny stories. I'll do the rest tomorrow. Some were brilliant, others I couldn't make up my mind about, and yet others needed work but showed promise. *le sigh* Accordingly, I'll make more than one albums in my eternal - almost sickly - desire to be helpful.
I have also *tried* to ignore the popular ones (in favor of the ones that were overlooked), the ones that were included in lots of other albums, and the ones already in wirrow's tiny stories album. Yes, I am really OCD. So kill me. :D
This album's the one where my absolute favorite tiny stories reside. The land of awesome!
P.S. I am curious... how many stories will vol. 2 have? I mean, there are SO MANY excellent stories! Yikes.
When my twin brother is mean to me, I sick my army of teddy bears on him.

I tried to give you my heart, but you ran away screaming. Maybe I should have wiped the blood off first.

The weird thing about going to parties is that they're always haunted by the ghosts of every other party you've been to.

I was sitting in a field, entirely unnoticed. Then she picked me, and my life was given meaning. Beacuse I was going to tell her if he... |

She saw the world with her heart |

Suddenly, everything. |

She felt the air fall around her And the rain rise above |

Your heart has a little empty corner. You won't even know I'm there- I'll be very quiet. |

He blew bubbles holding sea creatures, and hoped they'd find the ocean before they popped.
When snowflakes fall from the sky
I'm pretty sure that I know why
It mostly happens late at night
When angels have a pillow fight...
I had originally written this for elayne's illustration, "make it snow", but I think it'll work with WhenIWasLittle's illustration too...

When John and Mary separated, their shadows were devastated, for they, too, had fallen in love with each other. |

Not letting her long legs and short wings deter her; Gertrude had finally figured out how to fly like the rest of the birds. She neglected; however, to devise a way back down.

Inspired by Rochelle Boucher's "Tap Dance - Tiny Story".
As suggested by AnneMarije.
Medium: Ink, color pencil and editing software.
For Ginella's tiny story!
Hyuck, hyuck, hyuck.
This was a pun/tiny story I'd doodled out an illustration for about five or six years ago, which I found while thumbing through old sketchbooks. I re-did the drawings to look nicer, laid it out, and voila! I would say this is the worst pun I've ever made, but it's not even the worst pun I've made in the last 24 hours.
Also, I know, I know, the Tiny Book of Tiny Stories is in black and white, but I really wanted this one to have color. If this actually gets selected, I'll go back and re-work it.
He thought the shadow was a naked ghost.

overwhelming desire
to be close to you

Sometimes I make the Universe revolve around me. You'd think it's a pretty heavy and inert thing, BIG as it is. But it really takes just a light push. |

A boy in the sky,
Sits down and reaches out. Taking tiny bites out of little gas balls And spitting them out across the galaxy, For small humans to wish upon. |

"The bottom of your shoe does not impress me."
some books (stories) just do it.
"Let's dance on the sun and melt into each other's arms."
I realized after drawing this that the story said "on" instead of "in" the sun. Oh well.
Inspired by:
"there’s an ocean inside my head,
and when i yawn,
it roars."

Story and art by me. Feel free to try another illustration.

This is the first thing that popped into my head to Illustrate for janetfelts's wonderful Tiny Story.
I guess it's a drawer and not a "corner" but it still works, right?
Process: Watercolor and colored pencils illustration on clayboard, details scratched out with scratchboard tools, scanned in, made some digital touch-ups and then added the text.
an invitation, to share my imagination, if you can't sleep.
just a slightly different approach after seeing so many great illustrations :)
Ghost freak me out but this tiny story was too cute!

Been wanting to do something ever since I saw this piece of megancarnes'. Finally got off my lazy butt to do something about it.
Decided to do it in black and white this time around.
No lineart this time, because I was being a daredevil and painted right on it.
Also dedicated to my friend, if you see this, you know who you are. :D Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and Bon Voyage.

I dreamt a dream that you were here, and we were there, and then was now, and now was real. |

we're forever,
like the moon.
The moon, in June,
Complains, with gloom,
That the sun comes out too soon.
