"Tom slammed the door in Bruno's face. He would later regret this show of emotion."
by PV

Of course Bruno was not easily cowed or dispatched - these recriminatory thoughts ranged quickly across his mind as Tom slammed the door in Bruno's face. He would later regret this show of emotion.

Bruna wasn't able for the moment to pick up his crown. But would leave it to Tom.  Humans were so volatile. Bruno's antenna picked up a myriad of conflicting emotions from Tom. He had to become more cognizant of the minefield of emotions he had to pass through. Tom was incredibly smart. After all, it was his construction and activation of a stellar gateway that had freed Bruno from the vagaries of the neutron star approaching the hive planet. Since his former agreement with one's fellow inhabitants was effortless, this experience with Tom took a while to wrap his antennae around. And all he did was suggest less salt in his eggs. Of course he was no amateur master chef like Tom. Still, Bruno said to himself, I should not have thrown up.

"The crew did everything hey could but it was not possible to save the vessel."
by TNT

"Have camera will travel," the ad said. I am young, 27, adventurous and educated. Looking for people doing interesting stuff that I can document with the plan of publishing the photos in journalists magazines or in a book. I have experience in safaris and trekking in Nepal and Borneo.

The Captain of the Zephyr, a lovely new yacht bought by a millionaire for his son, was ready to sail. He needed more crew members. They were headed for Hawaii from San Francisco - then planned to venture on towards Polynesia and Easter Island. The millionaire's son was flying out to Hawaii to meet the yacht there. His name was Richard Helms and he was bringing his lady friend Mrs. Hazeltine, an oceanographer, and Dirk, his best friend from college, a biologist. They were all excited about this trip.

They met the photographer and signed him on board as the other crew members worked feverishly to ready the yacht. It gleamed with polish and the beauty of the ship made all eyes at the harbor turn toward the boat with envy and admiration. As the photo journalist clicked away and Richard, Dirk and Ms. Hazeltine looked on, the boat began rapidly to sink. The crew did everything they could but it was not possible to save the vessel.

It was impossible that a new boat would suddenly sink like that. The crew swam to the dock.  What happened? They would have to bring up the boat and check for the problem.  After that. they found out the photographer had left the ports open.

"She leaned close to the intercom and said “Thank you for your order.”
by RC

Tobias was not your average Olympic athelete (if there is even an average in this field); he always went way, way  overboard. This had  been his proclivity for his entire life. When he was only three, he had jumped into a swimming pool, although why his mother had allowed him to wander close to it was never known, and to everyone’s amazement he had immediately started swimming. Some said that he was probably a great swimmer in his past life, others that he was merely a child prodigy—one in a million who come along now and then.

When he was six, Tobias had climbed a very high tree which grew beside an abandoned coal pit that had filled in with water and was probably about fifty feet or more deep. Yes, you guessed it, he jumped in. It was probably to no one’s surprise that when Tobias was fourteen he decided to be an olympic diver and swimmer both. He did well, entering his first Olympics at age sixteen and breaking the world’s record for the number of gold medals in swimming and diving.

However, when he was twenty-three and wanted to go to New York and try something totally unheard of,  his family balked. The police in N.Y. balked. The news media balked. But Tobias walked. It so happened that Tobias was always hungry after his diving or swimming escapades, so he brought his cell phone with him to the top floor. There was a fast food outlet on the street level, and Tobias ordered their burger and fries combo using his cell phone.


Tobias was not crazy—quite. He had placed a portable pool on the sidewalk. He simply ordered and jumped. He did not hear the girl at the burger place respond. She leaned close to the intercom and said “Thank you for your order.”

Aloysius ate pizza until it was coming out of his ears.
By CC

Aloysius and Martin were the first clones that Henry P. Walford made in his basement, and they never stopped berating him for his errors. “That cretin Walford,” Martin would shout. “Merging human DNA with his Shar Pei’s!”

But what was done, was done, and the twins, such as they thought of themselves, got on with life. Aloysius decided to grow a moustache and wear a beret to distinguish himself from Martin, who was decidedly uninterested in self-adornment.

Martin also was a foodie, who constantly whined to Henry until he was served plates of Bruschetta with tomato and basil, whereas Aloysius ate pizza until it was coming out of his ears.

One day the twins decided to take a walk. They nudged open the front door and went to the gate. Martin stood on his hind legs and worked the catch with his teeth until it opened. They trotted down to the corner store and stood outside, looking through the window glass, until the Barney White, the proprietor, opened the door. “Oh, it’s you two,” he said, letting them in. “Yes, Martin, your cheroots finally came in,” he said, walking back towards the counter.


“Could you light one for me?” asked Martin, which was part of the ritual he enjoyed with Barney on afternoons like this. Aloysius just rooted around in the candy stack until he found the Almond Joys. Later, after Martin’s breath had cleared, they went home again.
