All that glitters is meant for fools
Only they would take it
I found a gold ring on the beach with my metal detector. It still had a severed finger attached to it. Without delay, I started digging, trying to find anything else nearby, and sure enough, I did.
A tuft of golden hair billowed in the wind. Digging further down, I continued unearthing the corpse.
"She's beautiful. Well, at least she was."
Stripping every single ounce of jewelry off her, I tossed them all into my bag. As I walked away the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.
As I turned around I saw her standing there.
"Thief."

Lost in Tow
I found a gold ring on the beach with my metal detector. It still had a severed finger attached to it. Couldn't say I was shocked, especially with the warning signs around here. Everybody knows that this cove has the most dangerous undertow currents and reefs in all of Australia. Just last year an Olympic surfer was torn to shreds and three of the coast guards that went in after him were severely injured.

Silence
I don’t remember the day the world ended. But I do remember the day I noticed. That photo was it, but I did not know what it meant until I sat in my darkened bathroom, staring at the newly developed film. The street was neither empty, nor abandoned. It was dead. The colours of the flowers wrapped in that red ribbon caught my eye, and as I crouched to take that photo, I could hear only the lonely silence of a graveyard after dark.
