Short stories and chapters from books and novels

The Tri-Eyed Tribe
In a small wood
Far, far, away
In an undiscovered part
Of this big wide world
Lived a very strange race of people
Their average height was only two foot six inches
Which is rather short
But not strange
They spoke by making curious clicking noises
Maybe unusual
But again, not strange
They were strict vegans
The idea of eating meat of any kind
They found totally repugnant
Yet again, nothing strange in that
What was strange
Was that they all possessed a third eye
Two of which
Were exactly in the place ...

The Staff
You were heading outside at night.
Troubled from all the problems you fight.
You were about to frown,but there you see.
Something shiny from behind the tree.
Something glowy from afar,nearby the sea.
Something alluring and bright.
A truly incredible sight.
You look closer,there you see.
A staff,covered in golden glee.
As you step closer,your sadness begins to flee.
So alluring,and you are the happiest you can be.
You take a closer look and inspect.
You see something you don't expect.
A fairy appears,with...

Brixton Snow
1992, Brixton Prison, a golden dreadlock Snowy, plays his position, cooling in his cell and watching some television.
He walks with a limp through the wing, his boat bares a grin, and they say, "Have you got a pebble in your shoe and ting?"
Sporting circle sunglasses just like John Lennon, they cover his mince-pies, he is one fly felon.
He was a ragga MC, and he spat pure Patois. He didn't make generic hip hop, like your average rapper.
Now he is released from the shovel and pick, he's got his eyes on the prize, so he won't miss a trick! ...

Silent - A Stern Warning
Two Years Ago, Gavin
I woke up on the floor again, momentarily confused. Yawning, Philippa headed to the showers. She returned, and I went for a shower next. Later, we walked down to the breakfast cafeteria, conscious of the icy silence that fell the moment we entered the room. Dawn left as soon as she could without drawing attention to herself, and one of the other pianists followed and caught up with her, throwing me a filthy look at the door.
Another girl had taken Lucy's place behind the hatch. Blonde. Similar to Lucy but different. Philippa and I grabbed...

A Lull During Living
A long short story. Thank you to anyone who can stick with it to the end ]
________________________________________________
A Lull During Living
(9 to 5 Angels)
A lot of snow. Not simply falling, but being flung down by the mischievous minor god of weather. Easily confused with the god of assholes.
Just a hindrance, though. My friend, Golly, walked me out of the hospital and towards his truck, for my ride home. As if it was a home. It was the Army barracks, where I lived now, since my wife had decided that it was a good time to be done with me....

Fairy Parade
It was a sunny day.
Night was far away.
The sky was light.
And all birds took flight.
Moon was above in great height.
Ready prepared to start the night.
Suddenly,you heard laughter and chatter far away.
Music dancing in the light of day.
You walk closer to inspect.
And you find something you don't expect.
Fairies,with cupid wings.
Dancing gracefully like marionettes on strings.
Fully controlled by the peace.
And it makes you feel at ease.
You joined their parade.
And a smile on your face...

The Weight of a Man - Excerpt #5
December 11, 2020
Xavier came over at about seven o’clock and we saw each other for the first time in practically a lifetime. When I opened the door and saw his huge sprawling figure, deep brown eyes and that bright smile, my knees nearly gave out and I leaned against the door frame for support. “Hello Xavier Crown,” I said with much more fearlessness than I had. His bright eyes and smile lit up the hallway as he said hello and I could only point the way to my apartment door. I was at a loss for words. I made sure to walk behind him though. There was no way I was letting...

The Wise Old Tree
I was walking down the lake.
Mascara dripping down my face.
And a white dress covered in lace.
The lake was my comfort place.
Where I can calm down in a comfortable pace.
Beside me,was a wise,old tree.
It looked old,but not that old to me.
It had gold leaves,branches,small and big.
And its crown was lit by the sun.
I felt a sense of comfort,and no need to run from anything.
I sat beside the tree and looked up at the sky.
I told myself I'm sad.
And the tree asked me, ""Why?"'.
I told him and...
