The Magic Mermaid
The mermaid princess was bored. Nobody cared that she would commanded a large horde. Her army was going to be massive, the ocean was hers. But she still needed something more, maybe some land furs. She cast a spell, grew some legs, and breached the surface. She smirked, and shouted “I’m here, don’t fear. Someone take me on a date somewhere near.” Several men asked her out, she chose the one with a bad case of gout. He had the biggest wallet and the most clout. She turned him into a merman and they went back to the sea together.

A Little Trouble
“Go away,” I shouted. A tiny man zipped through the air and zapped me with his tiny weapon. “This is getting annoying,” I shouted. I swatted at him. I ran to the bathroom and grabbed a can of hair spray. I sprayed it all over the tiny man and his flying suit stopped working. He fell to the table and tried to radio for help. “Houston, send back up. I couldn’t capture the giant from Venus,” he said. “I don’t think so,” I said and smashed the tiny man. I turned around to see a hundred more tiny suited men.

Wheel of Destiny
The guards liked to torture us with games in prison. We were all here for life, so it’s not like we’d ever get out and say anything. It was Ed’s turn for the wheel. “Spin the wheel,” the guards chanted again and again. The wheel was spun. It landed on electric shock. They stun gunned poor Ed for hours and laughed. Now it was my turn for the wheel. I hated this place. They spun the wheel and it landed on The Iron Chair. Crap. They’d keep me there for days, too. Most people didn’t survive The Iron Chair.

Lonely
Sitting in this room alone, it feels like the world is asleep while I'm awake. The sun pours its brilliant rays into the room still, I feel alone. I see that it is day but it feels like light. Everybody outside my window is talking to somebody, while I sit here talking to myself. A mouse scurries across the floorboard,
