The moon, in June,

Complains, with gloom,

That the sun comes out too soon.

She longed to be as pretty as the girl in the mirror.

Suddenly, everything.

"Wait! You forgot your baby!"

As he struggled to scratch his coconuts, one palm tree said to the other, "I could really use a hand."

He brought her to the library, where he delighted her senses with the fragrance of old books, the symphony of their cracking spines and the feel of their brittle pages.

It was the be...

The other children teased her,
All through the day,
But at night her fierce shadow
Chased them away.

I awoke with a start, feeling something was wrong,
Death sat next to my bed humming a pitiful song.
He stopped to say “This night you were supposed to die,
But instead I will sing yo...

I awoke suddenly to Death nudging my bed,
“Since you can’t sleep, let’s play Scrabble”, he said.
I kept my words small, making sure Death scored better,
And pretended not to notice a...

Death asked me to play poker one day
I daren’t say no and we started to play
He cheated throughout and then went all in
What else could I do but let him win?

I bought you a Thesaurus so you could use it to come up with different ways of telling me you're sorry.

Instead, I use it to find different ways of telling you to get lost.

I'm falling for you...

 

...but you're busy catching somebody else.

 

 

*inspired by jericho's tiny story

You told me that if you opened up the dictionary to the definition of "sarcasm", you'd find my picture there.

I told you I wasn't worried because you've never opened up a book.

As they watched the rain from behind a cloud, the sun whispered to the rainbow, "Let me know when you're ready."

 

*I'd love for someone to illustrate this :-)

"Thanks for telling me the secret, but did you have to crap on me too?"

The immortal-wannabe didn't realize that it was just a vampire bat he had let bite him: he kept waiting for the rest of his transformation to occur.

"I'm sorry for calling you a 'brown-noser'. I didn't realize your nose was actually brown."

"We're out of cream."

Been there, done that, dead now.

The fortune teller predicted that she would foresee her own death, but she died before she could prove it.

I was ready to not believe anything the fortune teller said until she predicted that I would not believe anything she said.

After she predicted her own death, the fortune teller spent the rest of her life being ridiculed.

Every night she dreamed about touching the stars, until the night the stars dreamed about touching her.  

Before you could leave me, I left me.

When the monsters under her bed died, she thought she was finally safe from them. Instead, their ghosts haunted her.

The Little Death cannot exist without Death.

Eventually, it is not only the corporation that is faceless.

 

The turning of the dial erased their grey

The crackly static chased their wrinkles away

As my parents laughed and danced, my young mind surmised

That radios m...

The time traveler returned to find himself, but he was already gone.

The giraffe fully expected to grow tall enough to reach the stars. So he prepared himself and waited.

The yield sign finally won an argument
but lost his job.

"Who wants to read to me?"

She will never know that her beauty leaves him speechless.

Despite the temptation, the bookworm stayed far away from that tree.

"I see dead people," Rorschach whispered to his therapist.

The kleenex box nervously eyed the empty toilet paper roll.

He liked to dance with wolves

She preferred to fly with foxes

The leaky faucet complained, "I can't sleep with all that snoring."

I found love at first sight, then lost it in a second.

 

*I really love Quinnzite's tiny story and just remixed it a bit

As I cut my hair to forget you, the pieces turn into the flowers you so often compared its smell to, allowing me to sprinkle them on your grave.

No one would ever know that she had just perfectly executed the elaborate dance sequence from her favourite classic movie.

The Fortune Teller predicted that I would suffer a small financial setback. Then she stole my wallet.

The time traveler made a mental note to revise the destination coordinates from his last time jump.

People were always rubbing him the right way.

or

The eraser had a sad existence of always having to fix other people's mistakes until he eventually disappeared...

Once he got over the shell shock, the soldier was proud to fight side-by-side with the snail.

I see a blue sky and I want to paint it black.

"Let's find out where the rabbit goes!"

He was afraid of being blamed for what his shadow did.

 

Before nothingness claimed me, I dreamt it was raining.

 

We are only as free as we imagine we are.

"Sorry I didn't recognize you. From here, you all look like tiny specks of light," said the moon to the astronaut.

"I didn't realize it until I saw it, but that was pretty much how I imagined a pigeon with a coffee cup on its head would look like."

He was a man of no substance. Not even his wealth could save him from being washed away by the rain.

 

 

I wish I still had the receipt for this life so I could exchange it.

I walk around carrying a fire extinguisher, telling people that my family has a history of spontaneous combustion.

The last story she read,
Before going to bed,
Was about a girl who wore red,
And a wolf getting fed.

She gave up her ghostly existence to be with him, but could not adjust to being real.

Although his productivity dipped a few days per year he was still one of their hardest working employees.

He got everywhere one hundred times faster.

It may have been hot, but it was the best place to stargaze.

The silence was perfect.

He had compartmentalized his love for her,

And then couldn't find it when he needed it.

With a serene smile upon his face,

He waited for the fire's embrace.

Jumping jacks came into existence right before the Wright Brothers discovered flying.

Her last gift to him was a CD she had made of all of their favorite songs.

Meet me in my dream.

Life and Death both took a break,
Weary from their burdensome roles,
Nobody lived or died that day,
Just aimless, wandering souls.

When the dreamer died, no one could find the body.

We started as friends,

but ended as so much more.

She couldn't change the world, so she created a new one.

When a bird arrives in the Hereafter,
It sings a song so sweet,
That Death takes a break to listen.

Whenever I find a pest in the house
I never squash it myself.
I'm worried one day that humans will be
The pests for somebody else.
