Over
Why panic when there's nothing to do?
"Will you stop watching the fucking tele and listen to me David!" Margret screamed at her lazy potato of a husband.
"What is it?" David asked, confused.
"You forgot to..." As she was trying to break the news he should have already known, there was a sudden noise coming from the TV.
There was a loud siren followed by an authoritative voice, with just one sentence and a list -
Nuclear bombs have been spotted heading towards London, Coventry, Liverpool, Manchester...
"Shall we drive love?" David asked, with an odd smile.
"No, traffic. Lets just put the kettle on"

The Mermaid's arrival
"Where am I?" She asked herself, unsure of her surroundings. She had a strange feeling on her neck. A feeling as if her neck was opening in three different areas on both sides. She looked down to the sight of her home, a glass dome hidden away. She was now above it and now in the ocean itself. She swam towards the dome but soon realised that she could never return home. So she kept swimming and swimming, with fear everywhere she went.

Out Of Date
“Hey Mum, can I ask you a question?” Allan asks. “Sure honey, what do you want to know?” “At school today the teacher was telling a story but I was running late and missed the start of her narrative. Something about a gallon, whatever that word means.”
