Humor
Only Five Minutes
Sheriff Parker popped a tic-tac (strawberry and cream flavored) into his mouth to calm the nerves in his stomach. He looked around and saw that the civilians in the town square were either talking amicably with each other or waiting patiently for their mayor and the town council to arrive. He looked up and saw the sun shining brightly and warmly, without a cloud in the sky. Sheriff Parker looked at his watch and read the time as 2:43 pm. The solstice ceremony was supposed to start at 2:45 pm, and his Deputy just radioed him that he, Mayor Cox, and the others were one minute out.

A Short Collection of My Funniest Drabbles
Around mid May I was randomly introduced on Medium to this new concept and challenge called “Drabble”. Drabbles are fiction stories that are exactly 100 word; no more, no less.

The Boys Season 4 Episode 3
The Boys' fourth season opens with a hint that something is wrong with Homelander in episode three. Homelander asserts that Starlighters pose the greatest threat to the United States of America during the most recent Vought conference, but he is undoubtedly having mental health issues. Homelander introduces Sister Sage and Firecracker as the newest members of The Seven in an attempt to deflect attention from him. Additionally, he is holding one spot open for Ryan, his "son."

The Bastarding Extra "i"
Lisa had been very disaffected by "book club". She'd been all geared up for a night of deep discussion, only to discover that half of the women hadn't read it and the other half, who had read it, weren't willing to talk about it. The only mulling had been over wine and the only thing digested had been cheese.

178 — Dear Star Registry...
Dear Registrars, Lovely exotic dancer, Ursula North, my “little dipper,” my “little bear,” is my unrequited love. I know she cares, even if she doesn't treat me like she does all those ogling men with their dollar bills. I need to impress her in an “astronomical” way. Imagine my presenting, instead of dollars or purchasing lap dances, an entire constellation deeded to her (in your registry, copyrighted with the Patent and Trademark Office!).

Chaos to Clarity
In the intimate confines of the theatrical realm, where the human experience is distilled to its most raw and unfiltered essence, Dennis Kelly's "Girls & Boys" emerges as a narrative tour de force. Centered around the riveting portrayal of an unnamed woman by the brilliant Elena Lozonschi, this one-woman play traverses the terrain of love, parenthood, and the stark realities that lurk beneath the surface of domestic bliss.
