The Comedian
“What would bears be without bees? Ears?” Was my opening joke. I got moans. Usually that joke got a few more laughes. “Why did the chicken cross the road?” I asked to what sounded like boos. “Sorry, my next joke will be better, I promise,” I said. The moans and boos got louder. “Lights,” I said. The lights turned on, exposing an audience that was full of zombies. They weren’t booing, which boosted my ego, but saying brains. They were now crawling on stage to eat me, and I had nowhere to go. “You guys have been great!” I said.

The Party
“Chug, chug, chug,” they chanted as I did a keg stand. It was hazing at a college party. I drank until I threw up, then drank some more. I was so wasted, I asked everyone out, guy or girl, and told everyone I loved them. I couldn’t drink anymore so I found a secret corner and laid down for an hour. It’s a good thing, too, because the police showed up on a noise complaint and arrested everyone else. I was the only one who remained free that night. I wasn’t going to go to another college party with them.

"The World of Isabella and Luna: A Tale of Magic, Hope, and Perseverance"
Once upon a time, in a world far from ours, there lived a young girl named Isabella. This world was one of magic, where spells and potions were a part of everyday life. Isabella was one of the powerful witches in her town, with the ability to control the elements. She lived with her grandmother in a small cottage on the outskirts of town. Her parents had died when she was young, leaving her grandmother to raise her. One day, while exploring the nearby woods, Isabella came across a dazed and confused fairy. The fairy, whose name was Luna, had been cursed by an evil queen and was lost in the woods. Isabella, who was always willing to help others, took Luna back home with her. Luna was immensely grateful to Isabella for her help and promised to repay her someday. As the days passed, Isabella and Luna became the best of friends. They would often go on adventures together, exploring the magical world beyond their town. One day, while they were out exploring, they came across a hidden path that led them to a beautiful meadow. In the centre of the meadow was a tree unlike any other. It was a majestic tree with golden leaves and shimmering branches. The tree was known as the Tree of Wishes, a tree that granted the wishes of those who managed to reach it. Isabella and Luna were overjoyed and felt that this was the perfect opportunity to ask for their deepest desires. Isabella wished to have her parents back, while Luna wished for the curse to be lifted. Both of them reached out to the tree, placing their palms on the trunk, and closed their eyes. Suddenly, a bright light shone from the tree, enveloping them both in its embrace. Isabella felt a wave of warmth wash over her, and her heart felt lighter than it had ever been before. Luna’s wings glowed with an iridescent sheen, and she felt the burden of the curse lift from her. As the light faded, they looked around, eager to see if their wishes had been granted. But to their surprise, nothing had changed. The tree still stood tall, and they were still in the meadow. Luna and Isabella were confused and saddened that their wishes hadn’t come true. Breaking the silence, Luna spoke, “Maybe our wishes did come true, but in a different way than what we expected.” Isabella nodded, “Yes, maybe we were given the strength and wisdom to face our struggles.” They both smiled at each other, realizing that the true magic of the Tree of Wishes lay in their newfound perspective. As they made their way back home, they couldn’t shake off the feeling that the tree still held some secrets. They were determined to uncover them. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, as they researched and studied the Tree of Wishes. They wanted to understand its true power and how it worked. And they finally stumbled upon an ancient book that spoke of a hidden power within the tree, a power that could only be awakened by the purest of hearts. Isabella and Luna were excited and intrigued, for they knew that they possessed the purest of hearts. They set out to find the ingredients mentioned in the book. After weeks of searching, they finally had all the ingredients for the spell. On the night of the full moon, they stood beside the Tree of Wishes, and Luna began to chant the spell. A beam of light shot out from the tree, and Isabella closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the light wash over her. When the light faded, Isabella opened her eyes to see that the meadow had transformed. The tree was the same, but the surroundings were different. The meadow was now surrounded by a beautiful lake and a castle in the distance. “Luna, look!” Isabella exclaimed in wonder. Luna’s eyes widened as she took in the beauty of the castle, “Is this the hidden power of the Tree of Wishes?” “Yes, Luna. It seems that we have been granted the power to create our own world,” Isabella replied. Luna nodded in agreement, “Then let us use this power to create a world where love, peace, and kindness reign.” And so, Isabella and Luna set out to create their perfect world. They created a world where everyone was equal, where people helped each other, and where magic was used for the betterment of all. They created a world where happiness was found in the smallest of things. As time passed, their world grew, and more people joined them in their quest for a better world. And thus, the world of Isabella and Luna became a beacon of hope for people around the world. Years passed, and Isabella and Luna grew old, but their legacy lived on. Their world remained a symbol of hope for generations to come. And it was said that the Tree of Wishes still stood tall, granting the wishes of those who had the purest of hearts. As the years went by, Isabella and Luna remained true to their vision, creating a world of peace and prosperity. They continued to use their power to help others and make the world a better place. They trained young witches and fairies, passing on their knowledge and spreading their ideas. As time passed, their world grew and flourished. However, Isabella and Luna were not without their struggles. One day, a dark force began to rise in their world. A group of witches and warlocks who believed in using their magic for personal gain had formed an army and were threatening to take over the world that Isabella and Luna had worked so hard to create. Isabella and Luna knew that they had to act fast to protect their world from this evil army. They called upon their friends and allies from across the world and prepared for the upcoming battle. The day of the battle was intense. Spells and curses filled the air, and the battle raged on for hours. But despite their power and determination, Isabella and Luna's army was outnumbered. The enemy had powerful allies and advanced technologies that proved to be a challenge for Isabella and Luna's magic. As the battle raged on, Isabella looked around and saw her friends falling one by one. Seeing the devastation, Luna realized that they needed to use their ultimate weapon: the Tree of Wishes. “Isabella, we need to use the Tree of Wishes,” Luna shouted above the noise of the battle. Isabella nodded, “You are right. We have no choice.” They quickly made their way to the Tree of Wishes. This time, however, they didn't intend to ask for anything. They intended to use the Tree's power to defeat the enemy. Isabella and Luna put their hands together on the golden trunk of the tree, and Luna chanted a spell. A bright light shone from the Tree of Wishes, and a powerful wave of energy pulsed through the air, engulfing the entire battlefield. The enemy army was immediately incapacitated, and it was as if the very ground beneath their feet had turned to quicksand. They were unable to move, completely immobilized and powerless. Isabella and Luna's army took the opportunity to disarm the enemy and collect the weapons. They then used their magic to transport the enemy to a remote location where they could no longer harm anyone. With the battle over, Isabella and Luna's world was safe once again. They made sure that all their friends and allies who had fallen in battle received the best care possible. They were determined never to let anyone suffer again. The world was forever changed by this battle. Isabella and Luna's strength and determination brought a new era of peace and prosperity. They had shown the world what could be achieved when people come together for a common cause. From that day forward, Isabella and Luna's world became a beacon of hope and a symbol of perseverance. Their power and wisdom were remembered for generations to come, and their story was passed down through the ages. Even today, people still tell stories of Isabella and Luna, two powerful women who fought for what was right and created a world of peace and prosperity. They had proven to all, that with love, unity, and the power of pure hearts, anything was possible. And so, the world that Isabella and Luna created remained a testament to their vision and the power of the Tree of Wishes. The world was filled with magic, not just the magic that came from spells and potions, but the magic of dreams, hopes, and love.

The Neighbors
I knew I looked haggard, but the cruelty the neighbors showed was unnecessary. They’d call me names like ugly and witch. When I stayed inside they’d throw things at my house like eggs and rocks. I called the police but had no evidence. I was going to change things. I pretended to sell my house and invited everyone to a block party for the new neighbor. I hired a makeup artist to make me look younger. They all ate the dessert I made. I smiled as they foamed at the mouth. Now they’re all going to die from poison pie.
