Jason on the next stool pointed at my ribs. "Are you going to finish that?" I know she left me, but she won't make me do that.

The dynamite miner crawled out of the bathroom on his hands and knees.
"What's with you?" said a buddy.
"Fire in my hole!"

I got a gut pull from this. Well done.

Phineas caught it. Two hands cupped around a sprite and it bit him a few times, he thought, since he felt a few pinches. “I’ll be havin’ me wish now,” Phineas spoke between thumbs in his normal brogue. “You’ll be having nothing of the sort.” “But, I caught ye. Ye owe me a wish.” “You are mistaken, s...

Excellent.

They call me a creative at work. Don’t know what that means? Me neither. They say I can think of something and make it happen. They say I am original, but I do what a lot of people do. When I see a wreck, I slow down. I look. This goes far beyond a morbid curiosity. I could take a picture, but that ...

It recognized me. I’m not talking some search engine app or a recipe that popped up because I liked similar recipes, this computer knew me. I was boiling in my in my 72 degree air-conditioned office. Creeks of sweat poured off me as I opened the DVD drive. Cauliflower. I screamed. Someone had given ...

A soft noise from behind him broke his anticipation and he spun around. The Dark found him at last and his lighter flew from his hand in the spinning. He cursed as he made a clumsy lunge. Luck brought the lighter back in his hand. The Dark folded around him and squeezed. A thumb fumbled the wheel an...

I heard somewhere before that the streets in the 'burbs are just named after the trees that they tore down to build them. I live at the intersection of Bur Oak and Dogwood. This story makes me want to move.

Another atta boy!

What Strawman said up there.

And those Westboro Baptists suck.

For thirty years, I didn’t sleep. I know that sounds odd and it is, but I speak the truth. I’ve seen several doctors and from what they can tell me, I’m still human. I have no diseases or maladies. No tumors. Nothing. You are so much more productive when you can’t sleep. I took up a lot of hobbies a...

The female voice from the smart phone navigation app spoke out of turn.
“Where are you going?”
“I had to pee. Wait. What?”

Sand grinds in his teeth as he trudges along the beach. He’s always looking. Nighttime is the best time to find them; nothing is picked over and fresh ones are always washing up. He is looking for something in particular, though. A certain something that no one else has. Each shell represents a soul...

Fair toothed and clean-shaven, he donned a suit made of bird. Fine speeches made he, a thousand dollars every word. He was a man of wealth; he wanted everyone to know, So every morning he stepped on his brand-new Febroe. It’s a fine-feathered thing made of gears and soft leather, And a dozen umbrell...

“Quit moving so much,” the lab technician yells. Why must I live like this? I do things like this because of the quick money, which I need because my art does not feed me yet. Even if it did, I’m not sure I could stop this addiction. You start with minor experiments like weight loss or herbal drugs....

Very well done. This is now my favorite drabble.

Faking death is easier than faking life: that's our motto. However your idea is a bit out of our scope. Robert Dwyer is it?

Just before morning little Sally sat on the roof. Her lungs filled with sweet April air as she closed her eyes, concentrating while the streetlamps dimmed to blackness. She sighed the clouds away to allow a little more room this time. “Sleep tight everyone.” With her purple brush she made large stro...

“Brain scanning is such a waste of time.” “Not this time. I’ll find it, and I’ll extract it.” I turned my head in disgust. You can never get through to a mad scientist. “Got it! GET THE NET!!” I was jerked out of my chagrin and swung around to the doctor’s attention. “Get it! GetItGetItGetIt!” Witho...

8:57 a.m. GimmeBlood1832 Colonoscopy tomorrow. Can’t ingest anything until then. Especially can’t drink anything red. Stake me. 9:20 a.m. GimmeBlood1832 I’m used to a couple of snacks by now. Starving. 10:00 a.m. GimmeBlood1832 Ah jeez. Just got in to work. Did everyone on the planet cut themselves ...
