Cloud Crisis

“Looking pretty miffed there,” said Cloud.

“I am not sure what I am,” sighed Hydra. “Frustrated.”

“Ah,” replied Cloud. “An identity crisis. I get them a lot.”

“How come?” asked Hydra

“Imagine this,” said Cloud. “Every time a human looks at the clouds above and sees a shape in a cloud, a baby, a plane, a giraffe or the face of God, another of me appears in the land in-between.”

“How many of you are there?” asked Hydra.

“Last count,” sighed Cloud, “about three hundred billion.”

“Good grief,” exclaimed Hydra. “I bet that makes accepting party invites awkward.”

 

Catching Fog

“Looking glum there Clay,” said Yuffie.

“Am a bit,” replied Clay, dropping an empty cup on the bar.

“What’s up?” asked Reala.

“I tried to catch some fog,” sighed Clay. “I mist…”

Brace yourselves! Another argument between the illustrator, his server settings and cloud-flare is coming…

 

Say My Name

“What ya doin’, Bob?” asked the voice.

“Piss off,” replied Bob.

“Say my name, Bob,” said the voice.

“Never,” said Bob.

Angela kicked him under the table. “Who the heck are you talking too?”

“Sean,” said Bob. His eyes glazed over. “Shi…”

His head dropped into his soup. Bob was dead.

Angela screamed.

“Hey Angela,” said the voice. “What’s ma’ name?”

Ahh, this was one of my first horror stories. Before the ideas of creating books for my stories had ever formed in my head. Those with good memories may have seen a  tale long ago featuring Sean’s untimely demise.

Utterly shameless plug, Say My Name found its way into my horror anthology, Capricorn.

Blood Types

“What’s it say?” asked Cloud.

“It’s about my blood test,” said Black, clutching a scrap of paper.

“Anything bad?” asked Cloud.

“Not at all,” said Black. “There is a mistake though.”

“Oh?” asked Cloud.

“Yeah,” said Black. “Says I am blood type A.”

“Typo?” asked Cloud with a grin.

Black sighed.

Another Clock Diet

“Really?” sighed Fuen.

“Oh yes,” said Alien. “I have been on the clock diet all week.”

“I bet that’s time consume…” started Spectre.

“STOP!” yelled Fuen, “we have done that joke four times!”

“Right,” said Spectre. “How is the clock diet going Alien?”

“To be honest,” sighed Alien, “I keep going back four seconds…”

Yuffies Garden

Yuffie danced along the line of graves, cup in hand. A makeshift watering can, six holes punched in the bottom.

‘The Tap Dancer’s Dilemma’ played from her Walkman.

Another line of graves. Spreading her life-giving mix.

A twirl, a pirouette, a smile on her face. Rising through the dirt. Dead assembled.

Gem was going to like her new garden.

Chemists Death

“Yeah, he was studying to be a chemist when he died,” sighed Sprite.

“There has to be a pun there,” said Spectre.

“No puns,” said Yuffie. “We knew him, even if we did not like him, so we won’t make any gags about chemists, their deaths or anything that happens after.”

“What happens after a chemists death?” asked Sprite.

“They barium,” said Spectre.

Yuffie sighed.

Doctor Kodak

“Where’s Hydra?” asked Yuffie.

“Oh, erm,” stammered Red. “He’s gone to the hospital,”

“Oh dear,” gasped Yuffie. “What for?”

“He ate a barrel of Kodak camera film,” replied Red. “The doctor said we should leave him to sleep. They will let us know if anything develops.”

Swimming Inflatables

“Hey,” came a voice from the bushes. “Hey, Red!”

“Hydra?” asked Red. “Is that you?”

“Yeah,” replied Hydra. “Listen, the police are chasing me because I stole some swimming pool inflatables.”

“Oh dear!” gasped Red. “If Yuffie finds out she’s gonna be mad!”

“I know,” replied Hydra. “I gotta lilo.”
