Faux Pas
In the grand hall of the Tudor court, stood the noble Earl of Oxford, the fourteenth such: Edward de Vere. Nervously did he stand amongst the courtiers, for this day was of great import; he was to present himself before the illustrious Queen Elizabeth I. His heart did pound, his palms became sweaty. His Knees grew weak, his arms heavy. As Her Majesty entered, a hush fell upon the room. Edward stepped forward, but when he bent at the waist, alas! To his horror, a loud and unmistakable sound did rip from his bottom and echo through the hall: a rumbling fart. A wave of mortification did wash over him. The courtiers stifled their laughter but barely, and poor Edward’s visage turned crimson. He straightened, avoiding the Queen’s gaze. He could not bear the humiliation, and he fled the court. So profound was Earl's shame that he left England altogether. A time he would think to return to court; but a moment passed, and he remembered how his treacherous bottom had let him down. For seven long years, he lived thus. At last, he gathered his resolve. All persons let one go! Daily even! All men err! If my good queen took offence, she has surely by now forgiven the error! It is time and more than time to put this shame behind me and return to court.

The Gnome
What do you do when you want to get away from it all? Take a cruise! Yes, you take a cruise to get away from all the stress and nonsense of your daily life, like that neighbour who hates what you have added to your own home (the one that is fully paid for and owned by you). You are proud of the aluminum siding, the flamingos (only three), and the decorations that are seasonal and tasteful. But most of all, you are proud of Norman; your Norm.

Monster In the Closet. Content Warning.
There was a door. It sat at the end of a scuffed-up, rarely-used corridor where the spiders lingered on the walls. The air held a tang to it that smelled like defeat and blood. It was uncomfortably familiar. The musty smell seeping from beneath the door was a friend. The door was not. It was old, splintered, and thick enough to hide any amount of screaming.
