You Deserve A Break Today
A man by the name of Chester was the owner of a McDonald's on the outskirts of Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Sometime in March 1980, he was driving North on Interstate 43 when he crashed his car.
There was a decent snowfall occurring with icy conditions.
His vehicle had crossed the median and into the southbound lanes before hitting a guardrail.
Chester was able to climb out of the burning wreckage, pulled off all of his burning clothes and stood naked in the middle of the road.
In a matter of minutes, Chester was run over and killed by an oncoming tractor-trailer. ...

The Case of the Criminal Queen
a detective story
It was a busy day for Homer Featherstonhaugh and as he leapt from the red London bus, as much as a man of his girth ever leaps, he had a loud enough song in his heart to make the sparrows quit their warblings. He dove into Bidwell’s and ordered a pot of tea and a cooked breakfast. Folks thought it was eccentric of him to eat in a workman’s cafe surrounded by boiler suits and such, or a sign that he was trying too hard to seem like a man of the people, a sort of reverse parvenu. ‘Silly old Homer’ they’d say, ‘Off on his odysseys again. The fellows must think him a...

It’s your beautiful ending.
It’s your careless sigh.
It’s the way that you ended,
Without a real goodbye.

The Glamorous Couple Next Door
flash fiction
They were in a hotel not far from the Spanish Steps. The place was filled with American tourists, including a Mr and Mrs Franks who had sat with them at dinner and asked them to explain various British idioms in their coarse, braying voices. ‘I don’t know how you stand them’ said Jane.
‘Me?’ said Barnaby, rootling through a suitcase on a chair with a broken crossbar. ‘You’re the one who caused them to glom onto us at bridge last night.’
‘I only said that she looked just like me in that hat when I was here last year.’ She threw up her hands. ‘Bah!...

Kab-Baddy
In the gritty streets where Harley roams, Harleen Handall, the name she owns. A weekend shift at the corner store, Covering for her folks, she's ready for more.
Four girls stroll in, fueled by booz, one of them decides to shoplift, a bad decision to choose. "Oi P*ki, grab vodka from the top shelf, now!" Harleen stays cool and refuses to bow.
She hands over the bottle with a calm demeanor, But the girl's not satisfied, her actions much meaner. "LET GO, YOU SILLY B*TCH!" she yells and she kicks, Harleen holds tight, using her skills, so slick.

One Handed
A man minding his own business is sitting in a bar. Enjoying some downtime after a hard days work. Sometime later, a drunken, loud, brash man comes stumbling in. He's causing a raucous all around him. He sits his ass down right near the quiet man. This drunk stunk of sweat and booze. The drunk turned to the quiet man and said, "What's your issue? Why do you look like that? Why do you look troubled?" The quiet man said, "No issue, just minding my own business". The drunk didn't like that answer and continued egging the man on. The drunk then began to point his finger and...
