Good times!

So, I've always wanted to do a decent twabble where the story ends abruptly. It seems like the right venue for it. I've tried it once or twice before, and those results went uncommented upon. Either it's impossible to do or I just haven't found a decent one yet.

Lot's of good twabbles don't get commented on, and some twabbles get praised that just leave you shaking your head. Thems the breaks in human endeavors.

But everybody and his dog does a cut-short twabble. there must be half a dozen of them on this forum -- and I've seen as many more elsewhere.

The best one is here, in my professional opinion.

Yeah. I didn't mean that as a whiny "woe-is-me" type of thing. Sort of curious what people think of abrupt endings in these. It almost feels like a way of cheating the system. At the same time, I'm sure there are scenarios which feel perfectly right for it.

Dr. Hongo schemed to rewrite the past, to rule the future. Alas, unionized history "teachers" foiled him unwittingly.

Bob saw Sue again at the party. He still loved her like a sister. That is: every time she talked, he wanted to strangle her.

"Can't ya save him?" Jan sobbed to her husband's nurse.
He sighed, "I doubt he'll live til morning. He has Bieber Fever."

They told me that there are terms for people who like girls too much. One common term is 3 to 10 years in the state hoosegow.

It's not the crash landing, violent natives, or even the slow suffocation of the alien atmosphere I mind. It's just you.

Matrix and Oceans Eleven gazed lovingly at their offspring and sighed. "We'll call him "Inception," declared Matrix.

Me? Of course I remember. I was eating lunch - fresh tuna - when I got the news that the President had been unassassinated.

Love it!
For some reason, the first person I thought of when I read this was William McKinley.

"Former President," a reporter called, "What should replace the Gold Standard you implemented in 1900?"

"Braaains."

"Your mom falls to her knees in reverence of the Lord," his brother snorted. Cain knew then precisely what had to be done.

Each of us is special. In the ocean each drop of water counts. Likewise, we matter too - About as much as a drop in the ocean.

I woke at noon, and knew I'd missed the interview. My narcoleptic grandfather was right all along. You snooze, you lose.

ASID, I bet you were a real challenge to your elementary school psychologist.
Such an urgent case of low self esteem!
He probably didn't consider that if that single drop is the one on the very bottom, you've got enough psi to crush the school.

Not if you open the doors and windows before you submerge it.

Anyway, I don't know what sissified, namby-pamby school you went to, but at MY elementary school, we had: a principal, a football coach, and a "board of education" (with nubs). Not sure which was the "psychologist".

Each atom in my body was born in the fiery heart of a star in the sky. And when my time comes, each atom in my body will go home.
