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 […]

Rest stop

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 […]

Talking with the tree

The tree said, “Is Covid still happening?” I said, “Unfortunately.” The tree said, “Is there anything I can do?” I said, “Not that I can think of.” The tree said, “A while back there was a terrible blight. Many of the trees were stricken. I had it myself and recovered. But some other trees weren’t […]

What happened in the boat

I got in my boat and rowed out to the middle of the lake. I laid down in the boat and closed my eyes. I fell asleep. When I woke it was night. The stars glowed down on me. I felt a breeze on my face. It was a bat. The bat was flying back […]
