The Road

“Honestly,” said Fuen, “I am not sure what everybody is.”

“I don’t follow,” sighed Hydra.

“OK, so this place,” explained Fuen. “It’s a crossing point, from the living world to the afterlife. It is in-between. When humans, animals, and even some plants die, they walk down the paths, to the main road, and follow it to the afterlife. But we live on here for a while. We are the ideas, opinions, hopes and dreams that linger after the living embodiment is gone.”

“So I am just an opinion?” asked Hydra.

“You’re a hope or a dream Hydra,” replied Yuffie. “That’s why we don’t let you play on the road.”

I know this story has been posted before, but this is a good starting point for Hydra’s story and it hasn’t been in a book yet.

 

Raptors Words

“Yello Huffie,” said Raptor as Yuffie walked by.

“I give up!” yelled Bee. “All darned day!”

“What’s up?” asked Yuffie.

“Raptor is swapping the starts of words about all day today for charity,” said Bee.

“Cupid stunt,” sighed Yuffie.

 

Dark Rooms

“Sammy, baby.”

That’s what he always said before he came into her darkroom. She thought he knew better. Until she forgot to the lock the door before going to work.

She found him in the garage, car still running. She drove him to the loch, pushing the car off the bridge, a long walk home.

She slept well that night. Until her phone rang.

“Sammy, baby.”

Amnesiac Fish

“Oh, Kraken,” yelled Red. “Mate, I got one for ya!”

“A fishy pun?” asked Kraken, grabbing a pen and paper.

“Yeah, it’s a good one,” said Red. “It’s about a fish with amnesia.”

“Right,” said Kraken.

“I’ve forgotten how it goes…” grinned Red.

“Oh no,” sighed Kraken.

 

Bernie Bear

“Oh, for the love of…” she sighed.

Her husband stood at the door with his Bernie the Bear stuffed toy in his hand.

“Really?” she grumbled. “Aren’t you too old for that?”

“Yeah,” replied Bernie.
