Elevated

“How do I get to the beach?” asked Horror.

“Take the elevator,” replied Hill.

“Elevator?” asked Horror. “Very disappointing.”

“How so?” asked Hill.

“I always find they let me down,” sighed Horror.

“Funny,” said Hill. “I find them quite uplifting.”

Merman

“Funny ‘ole fella Red,” said Merman.

“He’s like a fine wine,” replied Serpent.

“You mean he gets better as he gets older?” asked Merman.

“No…” sighed Serpent. “He’s like the sour grapes you had to stomp the crap out of until you had something acceptable to have dinner with…”

Croc

The crocodile rolled, the smell of blood and fear hung heavily in the water.

He felt the tug as his leg ripped from his body. He stared up at the surface for an eternity.

Another bite. The remaining leg. Tumble, rip, spin.

The crocodile knew letting humans evolve this far had been a mistake.

Origami

“Well he was a bit odd,” said Fuen.

“In what way?” asked Yuffie.

“When I said I was in the mood for chicken, he gave me an origami bird made from paper,” sighed Fuen.

“Ah,” replied Yuffie. “Well, Red once gave me a statue made entirely of gaffer tape.”

“Blimey!” said Fuen.

“I didn’t like it at first,” said Yuffie, “but then I got attached to it…”

Tablet

“Missus kicked you out again?” asked Cloud.

“Yeah,” said Pterodactyl. “I asked to borrow the newspaper from her. ‘Don’t bother with a paper’ she said, ‘I have a new 12-inch tablet!'”

“Oh, they are good!” said Cloud.

“Yep,” replied Pterodactyl. “Feckin’ fly didn’t know what hit it…”

Helium

“Well there’s no point throwing a strop,” said Serpent.

“Grr,” grumbled Red, spitting out a tyre.

“What’s happened now?” asked Fuen.

“Red just lost his job at the helium balloon factory after an argument with his boss,” sighed Serpent.

“I won’t be spoken to in that tone of voice!” growled Red.
