Fafnir wondered what the Good Mother had prepared for breakfast. Yesterday had been a nightmare. His log trencher had been filled with the most ghastly assemblage. The Roc egg shells were still riding like the little peoples' ships in a sea of predigested plunder. It had been too much and he had roared. "No more eggs," he told her angrily. "I am sick of eggs!" And then his mother showed hurt and chagrin, her eyes became milky and hooded over and a few drops of sulfurous acid leaked from those really most remarkable dragon eyes. Ah well, a sensitive and dutiful son must distract a distraught mother first, and apologize afterwards. So he reminded mama of the hilarious incident they had in the past while trying to down a paté of jellyfish. So he eyed warily the poison plums in the bowl.

It is said when you begin physical exercise to start out slow and build your way up by adding a little more exercise to your routine every day. But not for "Porky" P.U. Pigalopus. He was determined to lose those 300 pounds he put on "with the boys" while drinking beers, eating fried chicken, breaded cheese sticks and pizza while watching sports on TV. Never before had anyone taken such a dangerous course of action. Bare footed, bare bellied, bare chested and bare headed, he made up his own challenge exercise. He hid out by the roller coaster at the Amusement Park all night long. At sunrise, when no one was looking, he scaled the Giant Zipper Dipper to the very top. Then he made a major mistake. He looked down! There on the ground he saw some workers the size of ants. They were all yelling "Come down!" He would if he could, but he couldn't - he was too afraid of heights. Then he heard his wife's voice. "Porky, come down from there, now! I'll make you your comfort food favorites - cold ice cream, hot grilled double-decker sandwiches, french fries and Coca Cola!" So he slid down faster than he went up, and everyone cheered. He thought, I'll start another exercise regimen tomorrow...

Mr. Schwartzenmuller was almost finished with this last timepiece. He had been working nonstop for the last 5 weeks completing the order. He was so pleased at making the deadline. A few more finishing touches, then he would let his apprentice, Franz, pick them up and deliver them all. He would be ready to go, then. He'd hang up his work jacket, stow away the last few tools and then duck into the little lavatory at the back of the work shop to wash up a bit. Then he would be ready. Mrs. Schwartzenmuller was on her way to the shop to pick him up. It was a special day. She had dressed carefully, making sure she would look her best. There would probably be photos taken. She'd left enough time so they would not have to rush if there were traffic delays. As she arrived, she greeted Franz. He congratulated her and went back to the let the boss know she was there. Suddenly she remembered the ticket - where was the ticket? They would not award the lottery winnings without it. She dug frantically in her purse for the missing ticket.

"Lucy saw the UFO out her bedroom window."
by CC
Lucy saw the UFO out her bedroom window. "Holy Cow," she said to herself, looking up from the table where she had been writing in her journal. Outside, the UFO sparkled in the inky depths of the night sky. It called to her. She felt a tingling in her blood, then suddenly a voice spoke in her head. "Meet us at the top of Mt. Everest at high noon on July 24th," it commanded. Her mouth dropped open. She stood up, dazed, and crossed the room. It was impossible! She was 30 pounds overweight, had high blood pressure and worked at a retail pharmacy, making so little money that her credit cards had maxed out on necessary expenses. "DO IT," the voice shouted, echoing through her skull. She flung herself on her bed, crying. She didn't know how, but she would obey the UFO's commands. So it came to pass that 6 months later Lucy was walking along a precipice on the way to summiting Mt. Everest with 2 Sherpa guides. She had applied for 6 more credit cards and maxed them all out buying climbing gear, plane tickets, hiring guides and paying for her food and rent, because she quit her job to begin intensively working out in order to get fit enough for the climb. Now, at the top of Everest, her gamble paid off. The UFO appeared then dipped down low, and extended a small ladder. She climbed up and into the craft, and they sped off towards the Pleiades. Her guides headed back to camp, grumbling. They would take the rap for this. They'd have to make up some story about her falling.
