This is fantastic.

A guy walks into a bar with a German Shepherd and takes a seat. The bartender says, “you can’t bring a dog in here, sir.” The man replies, “but this dog is special. He’s a talking dog.” “Yeah, yeah, I’ve heard this one. You’re going to ask him a baseball question and he’s going to say “Ruth,” I bet....

What had I done? Sweet mercy, what had I done? I had never dreamed that within me there was the potential for such appalling, heinous evil. This was all my doing. I felt such revulsion; no one else could be blamed. My mind reeled at the horror I had unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. How many wou...

Defense attorney Chad Barnett addressed the jury: “I implore you, ladies and gentlemen, to find my client not guilty by reason of insanity. Yes, he robbed that bank, but he did so under a powerful delusion; he was convinced that he was Napoleon Bonaparte and that he needed that money to build an arm...

Joe’s initiation into one of the most infamous street gangs in the world was tonight. The beating he was about to endure from the ten senior members would be his ticket in. It was tradition. He was understandably nervous. He’d already annoyed several of them with his smart mouth. He tried not to, bu...

I grew weary of living in my youth, but refused both rope and razor; I am not so common as that. It has taken three decades and the entirety of my family fortune to plan my suicide, and the moment is finally at hand. My departure from this meaningless life will be suitably grand; a farewell befittin...

"Drac's so funny," the vampire told his pal. "Once when I was drinking, he made me laugh so hard blood shot out of my nose!"

Henderson returned to camp after several days' absence. He wouldn't talk about whatever ordeal he'd been through, mumbling to his companions to mind their own blasted business. He took his supper by the fire among the other prospectors, looking sickly. He'd hardly touched his vittles when he suddenl...

Vincent hid in darkness behind a tree in the Pruitts' back yard, watching the house, wishing the bedroom light would finally go out. He fidgeted with the rope and chipped away bark with his hunting knife as he waited. He had felt compelled to visit the unsuspecting couple for months, but had always ...

I like this one so much I want to marry it. If it'll have me.

It was finally being tried; a million chimpanzees sat at keyboards, pecking away hour after hour. Each chimp's random output was analyzed by computer. No one expected immediate results, and for months there was almost nothing, just the occasional word here and there—until today. This morning the com...

Now THAT'S a good drabble.


...Maybe you're the robot.

That's a lot of carbs.

Well crud. I guess I can't get mad that someone stole my idea before I even thought of it, can I?

They even did it way better than I did!

This one starts out in a minor key and winds up kinda Do-Re-Mi. I like it.

Loved this one! Great imagery and very satisfying.

Nice one! This is a lot funnier than what happened to Jon-Erik Hexum.

The new psychiatrist enters my cell. I refuse to speak at first, but eventually I tell of the beast that killed my parents so many years ago. It's clear he doesn't believe me. I describe the blood pooled on the floor, sprayed on the walls. It's a grisly tableau I relive each time I attempt sleep. Ye...

I think I just splorted.

Sam had finally found the secret of invisibility.  Once he administered the serum he would be completely transparent.  He couldn't be sure how long the effect would last—several of the mice were still unseen three weeks later— but he simply couldn't wait. He'd dreamed of becoming an undetectable spy...
