As Dover the Labradoodle swung through the doors with his gorgeous Red Setter date, every single head in the cafe snapped up with accusing eyes. Momentarily paralysed, he pushes himself forward and finds a table towards the back. Times had progressed, but animals still lived to a certain degree of s...

It's always hard to decide what to eat when it comes to meal times. Should you pick something quick and easy? Or go the whole hog, and start from scratch? Then there's the other question of what cuisine to have, Plucking at the pages of my cook book for inspiration, I finally settle between two choi...

Thanks for the suggestion, but for me using the word 'thought' sounds ambiguous. Like he didn't know if he could get into their heads how they were suppose to act / talk. He had to go through a lot of messy trial and error. Also, using 'knew' gives undertones that the guy is a bigot, like everyone a...

Trapped in a cupboard with another soul. Lips locking. Teeth gnashing. Seven minutes of Heaven. Feels more like Limbo.

Everything was supposed to be fun, pretty and perfect for Sarah’s 8th Birthday party. There was a princess cake, a bouncy castle, a DJ, pony rides, cool presents for the guests, as well for the birthday girl. Heck, her rich parents loved her so much; they even got her a magician. They should’ve stuc...

When the first wave of raw magic hit the land, the first thing it did was give animals a human voice. This proved problematic to farmers who sold dairy and meat. Made it real awkward too. Many simply quit, or grew only veggies and such. And then there was MacDonald. They say he had a farm, once upon...

In between studying advanced mathematics and language studies, Alexa had found a strange phrase tagged in the back of one of her library books in faint pencil. The first time she read it, her brain froze and screamed. Half of her thought the letters were Russian smashed with Japanese. Yet somehow, a...

It was late, she knew that, but Fate told her to stay at the casino bar till the appointed time. She would know her mark when she saw them. A young dark haired man sporting a hipster-like look sidled up to her, "Hey there beautiful Blonde Goddess of the Bar, could you do me a favour? This sounds som...

The devil I knew had finally had enough of me. He threw a yellowed paper advert across my cell. It read: "Looking to move on from your personal hell or heaven? Fed up of haunting your ex-lover? Why not try applying for Life? Just dial your soul backwards, and we'll get in touch with you, then transf...

When Jeremy was delivered into his mother's arms, his parents truly believed he was a miracle child. For they had been trying to conceive for ages. He even had tiny angel wings. As he grew his father noticed Jeremy looked less like him, and more bird-like. When he finally discovered why, he drags hi...

Pre-dawn had arrived and with it a tired, grumpy pixie-sized woman riding on the back of a grey squirrel carrying a heavy satchel through the woods. Faeries used to eat children half a millenia ago.They were fantastically delicious, especially when ground into baked bread.They gave that certain swee...

The last drabble was January 2017, and haven't seen anything since. Is it lack of funds or interest, or is Norm working on other podcasts / roaming the country and going wild with his music? Really hope they update with some kind of news, otherwise we'll have to make a truly mythical eulogy.

You look like a smart, capable person, let me ask you something. When you were small, and people asked you what or who you wanted to be, how did you answer exactly? Speak truthfully. Every single wish I've ever granted has always been said in past tense. The client starts with "I wish I was..." whic...

I feel like there needs to be a part two to this with the explanation of Gummy Bears.

When I got to the end of the story, I couldn't help but be reminded of the 'Dear Kitten' series from BuzzFeedvideos.

"Vah-kooom!" O__O

You've fallen on the heavy cringe side of puns there, Munsi. :lol: I was half expecting you to throw in the'"getting up in the dead of night' joke That he needs to go 'raise hell' and help 'raise the zombies from their slumber' via the magic of coffee. Oh dear. See, this is me getting carried away w...

metalcapatiller, may I record this for Dribblecast?

A vast waste of white space enveloped 2B's vision. He rambles across Paper, unsure where to go, until a thud and scrape could be heard in the distance. The sounds draw grow closer and closer. In a panic he trips over rubbery bones, and is met by the monstrous Unholy Ruler that bars his way from free...

Every good dog has his day.
When the timing is right.
Mine happens to come out of a bad man.
When the moon is full and bright.

Do you think should I make the beginning more present to make it flow better? Or make it all in the past?
