In The Darkest Corner Of The Library
In the darkest corner of the library, a forgotten book whispered to a curious reader. Its pages unfurled, revealing a world of enchantment. With trepidation, the reader stepped into the pages, a magical realm unfurling around them. Trees danced with shimmering leaves, and fantastical creatures greeted them with twinkling eyes. Time stood still as the reader explored the wonders of this hidden world. But as they turned the final page, reality tugged at their sleeve, pulling them back into the mundane. With a bittersweet sigh, the reader closed the book, forever carrying its magic within their heart.

Ghost Train to Nowhere
I bought a train ticket home. I usually drove, but I had a strong urge to try something new. I sat down. When I looked around, some passengers were see through. Some had severe injuries and were bleeding, while others looked normal and glowed. I tried to get off but the doors were locked. I was terrified. I couldn’t stop staring. “It’s not polite to stare. You’re dead too, you know,” a passenger said. “No,” I shouted. He showed me a vanity mirror. I was bloody and injured. I must have died in the accident on the drive home today.

It was truly an incredible site to behold.

The revolution started when scientists weaponized tomatoes. They brought them to life. They had mean eyes, sharp teeth and ate everything in site. We marched to the capital and threw the tomatoes at the authoritarian ruling class. They didn’t stand a chance, the tomates ate every last politician. The tomatoes came back out and shouted, “we’re still hungry.” “Everybody run,” someone shouted. But almost nobody escaped the deadly genetically engineered tomato monsters. Those of us who did had to hide. We now lived in a world ruled by evil tomatoes, and their evil leader, King Redblood Strongvine.
