The Little Mermaid and the Friendzone
I had originally intended this to be part of my twisted fairytale series, “Timeless Tales, Modern Morals”, but it didn’t quite fit with the theme, so it ended up here as a short story, instead. Perhaps one day I’ll expand it as an independent novella.

The End of the Chapter. Content Warning.
The sun was blinding as I took that first step out onto the front porch. Red and blue lights flashed all the way down our street, and officers had already began taking notes about the findings while also whispering amongst one another. My eyes couldn't help but fall onto Uncle Ricky. He was sitting in the back of one of the cop cars, yelling at the officer leaning up against it. He was probably just fussing over the fact that the officer wasn't bothering to give him the attention he's always craved. Uncle Ricky was always unhappy when he couldn't be the center of attention.

First night
As the metal door slid behind me there was a barely any room to breathe. With confinement like this who needs a coffin, I thought. Three seconds passed before the door in front of me opened. Seeing Ed and Mat waiting for me on the floor I asked, "Does that happen every time?" Both of them nodded their heads. After rolling my eyes I took in the bare walls and saw that the room we were currently in was about the same size as the library. Ed commented with, "This is one of the few rooms that doesn't have cameras watching us." Mat followed with, "From what I know this room doesn't have any hearing devices either, due to me." "So we can talk freely here?", I asked and they both shrugged.

The Banished Cock
Once upon a time, the Cock was one of the most feared wild animals on earth. Many animals including the lions and elephants were afraid of him. I know you will want to know why the Hen was feared. The Cock was feared by other animals because they believed that any animal who is capable of carrying flames of fire on his head deserves to be feared. For that reason, the cock was crowned the king of the woods and he ruled other bigger animals including the Lions, Tigres , serpents and others. A season came in the history of the animal kingdom that cold became intolerable. It almost rained every single day and the sun showed no sign of existence. The forest lost its pride and the animal had no social freedom. They rolled from freezing to frozen and their skin turned white at pace . One day, the animals decided to have a secret meeting that excluded the presence of their king "Cock" . In the meeting , it was agreed that the bravest among them ( Lions and Tortoise) embark on a journey to get flame from the burnings on cock's head. The tortoise was chosen because of his tricky skill and the other animals believed that with that skill he would bravely come back with the flame to save their lives while the Lion was chosen because of his strength and the animals also believed that with his strength he would get a flame to save their lives. It was indeed a very ugly day for the cock as he was sleeping at his home. The Lion and tortoise invaded his home and made several attempts to get a flame from the fire on his head. Several attempts to succeed with their mission seemed abortive that the Lion became so angry and went in against the Cock. The lion then bravely and angrily held the comb but was not consumed by the flame. Then, the Lion and the tortoise took Cock to the forest square where he was trialed and banished from the forest. The Cock then decided to go on exile and he was caught by humans who took him as a home animal and kept him hostage. From that day till this day, the cock and his generation has always remained a domestic animal. Once upon a time, the Cock was one of the most feared wild animals on earth.
