I was out for a walk when I came upon a castle. It’s funny how you don’t notice something, and then one day you do. I went up to the castle and knocked. The knock echoed through the house. I heard footsteps approaching. The door opened slowly with a creak. A butler answered the door. […]

The whirlpool!
I have a pond in my backyard. I went out there this morning and was surprised to discover a whirlpool right in the middle of it. The water was rapidly spinning. A duck landed in the pond and got sucked right down under the water. I told the whirlpool, “Excuse me but would you please […]
Sitting in the chair
I sat. I didn’t get up. More time passed. I stayed sitting for the rest of the day. By night time I was feeling drowsy. I fell asleep sitting. When I woke in the morning I was laying on the floor. I got up and went to the bathroom. I came back and sat in […]
Helping out the ant
I was taking a nap when I was woken up by a tickle on my nose. It was an ant. The ant said, “Excuse me Fred, sorry for waking you, but would you do me a favor?” I asked what it wanted. The ant said, “I’m at my wits end. I’m about to be kicked […]

Me and the star
I laid out on the grass in my backyard and looked up at the night sky. I noticed one star that seemed to be looking at me. I waved. The star twinkled. I said, “How’s your night?” The star said, “Where I come from it’s never night or day.” I said, “Well, here’s your right […]
Sharing Freddies
Hi, it’s me. Fred. I want to show you some of my paintings. I call them Freddies. I like to create because I don’t know why. But I sure like to take colors and arrange them.
I woke to a dragon standing at the end of my bed. I saw it because it was breathing fire, lighting up the room. I was calm since I’m never disturbed while laying down, and said nonchalantly, “Oh, hi, are looking for the bathroom?” The dragon was taken aback, I guessed because I wasn’t screaming […]
