“I hate Crimbo!” said Plate.

“Why?” asked Serving.

“Season for all the facetious twats telling you to be happy!” replied Plate.

“Plate you don’t know what that word means,” replied Serving.

“Yeah I do!” said Plate, “twats mean fannies.”

Crime

“Where’d ya’ get that money and fancy webbing from?” asked Spider.

“Bit of work on the side,” replied Spider, winking and touching her nose.

“What sorta’ work?” asked Spider.

“Selling diaries for the year 2098 to the Mafia,” replied Spider.

“Oh,” said Spider. “That’s very organized crime.”

Meditation

Reptile shifted his grip. “You know, I used to be so serene before I came here.”

Serpent eyebrow and asked “Why are you not serene anymore?”

“Mostly routine,” replied Reptile. “I used to meditate on Harry Houdini’s autobiography.”

“Why did you stop?” asked Serpent.

“Eh,” pondered Reptile. “The reason escapes me.”

Dentist

“I don’t want to go to the dentist,” sulked Sprite.

“I love going to the dentist,” replied Spectre.

“Oh aye,” said Sprite. “Why’s that?”

Spectre shrugged. “It’s the only place I can go where people tell me to open my mouth and not close it.”

Tribe

“Bugly!” cried Fuen, “haven’t seen you in ages!”

“Yeah I went travelling,” said Bugly. “I joined a South American cannibal tribe.”

“Oooo,” replied Fuen. “How did they work out?”

“Fine to start with,” said Bugly. “Then I started telling them your puns, and eventually they gave me the cold shoulder.”

Dolphin

“I wasn’t always a spider,” said Spider.

“Oh really,” said Serpent, “what else were you?”

“Well I used to change body depending on my mood.” replied Spider. “If I was relaxed I was a cat, angry I was a bull, thoughtful I was a tortoise.”

“Aha,” said Serpent.

“I was a dolphin once,” said Spider.

“Gosh,” said Serpent.

“Yeah,” sighed Spider. “I lacked a porpoise.”

Some people use prompts. So how about the title of each days Little Fear works as writing or blogging prompts for you lovely readers? Everyone is more than welcome to link to their own blog posts below in comments. Link backs welcome, but certainly not necessary.

“My new multi-dog just blew its kennel up,” stated Yuffie with a sigh.

“Good grief!” gasped Fuen. “Why?”

Rubber

“Why is Blue lugging around a net filled with humans rubber rings and water toys?” asked Sprite.

“Poor fella ain’t well,” replied Spectre.

“Oh dear,” replied Sprite. “What’s up with him?”

“He got diagnosed with kleptomania last week,” sighed Spectre.

“Darn,” said Sprite. “Has he taken anything for it?”

Terrier

“Is that Spectre?” asked Fuen.

“Yeah,” replied Yuffie. “He is trying to get Hydras dog down.”

“From up there?” gasped Fuen.

“Yeah,” sighed Yuffie. “We need to get him to a pet psychologist.”

“Why?” asked Fuen.

“He is scared of small dogs,” grumbled Yuffie.

“A Great Dane?” laughed Fuen. “Scarred of a Jack Russell?”

“Oh yes,” sighed Yuffie. “Utterly terrier’fied.”
