We have another story this week from Anshuman Das. Thanks again!
Oh my! What have I done!
It was an accident. How could I know that one small action could have such drastic consequences? Anyways I was under the influence of some toxic substance when this happened, so you cannot blame me for this. Look here, all […]
This story comes from Anshuman Das. Thanks for the story!
Mr. L was happy. He had convinced a group of young leaders of tomorrow the historic benefits that the invention of the atom bomb has brought. Those who thought it was the devil’s gift now believed it to be heaven sent. Mr. L smiled while caressing […]
This story comes from wundergal. Thanks for the story, and I’m sorry it took me so long to post!
He promised fun and told the view up there was beautiful. When we reached there however, I was roughed up, thrown around in contorted angles and finally pushed over a precipice – no pain, just shock. I […]

“What if we put the couch over my the bookcase and the recliner by the window.”
“No, I want the tree in front of the window. Can we put the couch under the family pictures?”
“But then no one can see the TV.”

Thanks to Pamela Skjolsvik who submitted this Christmas story.
In the midst of a dark and dense forest, he hoisted the bound and lifeless form into the back of his truck. He patted it gently. He’d killed it, after all.
He turned the key. The engine was dead from leaving the headlights on.
His family […]
This submission comes from Paul Liadis, who earns a double-helping of thanks for getting through a technical issue to submit his story. Thanks, Paul! Thanks, Paul!
