Snow Bus

Capricorn (ep. 79)

She was tall and slender, enough to tower over most men, but she looked so fragile. Her legs reminded him of a spider and her hair was always frazzled.

He never saw where she came from, she would just appear by the roadside, looking up the street. Like she was waiting for a bus she never expected to come.

He’d invited her to wait inside a few times. She always declined.

Why would someone wait for four hours for a bus in the snow?

Ambiguous though many of my endings are, I do like to have a start, finish and end to my stories. This wasn’t so much a story but a start of a story that never fully formed in my head back in the Blue Moons heyday. The scene stuck in my head though. A lady who looked like a breath of wind would knock her over, waiting at a bus stop for a ride that would never come.

Also, dicking about with effects on a video. This was set to 100% and won’t be staying at 100%. But it’s an interesting effect. Just thought it would give my daily tales a little more visual thingy.

Mad Betty

Grey Moon – Saturday (ep. 67)

“You’re a bit strange,” observed Reala.

“I’m strange?” gasped Alpaca. “You’re the one serving Viagra tea to an alpaca.”

Reala nodded in agreement at Alpaca’s logic.

“Besides which,” continued Alpaca, “neither of us are as strange as Mad Betty McGrue, the homeless pony of Pontefract.”

“Oh aye?” pondered Reala.

“Mmhmm,” said Alpaca. “She’s unstable.”

Animal Crackers

Grey Moon – Saturday (ep. 66)

“OK,” said Reala, “I am afraid Fuen and Yuffie scoffed all the Hobnobs and Digestives.”

“Knackers,” sighed Alpaca.

“I do have some Animal Crackers,” said Reala.

“Oh, I can’t eat them on account of my beliefs,” replied Alpaca.

“Eh?” enquired Reala.

“I’m a vegetarian,” replied Alpaca.

Viagra Tea

Grey Moon – Saturday (ep. 65)

“Can I get you something?” asked Reala.

“Cuppa tea and some biscuits, please,” requested the Alpaca. “Do you have them new Viagra tea bags?”

Reala studied Alpaca. “You’re a female llama. Why would you need Viagra tea?”

“Oh, it’s not for sex,” replied Alpaca. “It just stops the biscuits going soft.”

Long Drop

Capricorn (ep. 78)

The effort of climbing the short flight of stairs made it wheeze and cough. It seemed more geriatric than terrifying. Years of comics and movies had changed the human mind’s perspective. He was not prepared for how vulnerable it appeared. He stepped back, into arms. Turning his head to see eight more behind him.

Sneaky buggers…

Unleaded Alpaca

Grey Moon – Saturday (ep. 64)

Alpaca sat at the bar and started sniffling.

“What’s wrong?” asked Reala.

“Oh, I’ve just come from the petrol station,” replied Alpaca.

“And?” pushed Reala.

“I got a bit emotional,” replied Alpaca. “I just started filling up…”

Toasted Alpaca

Grey Moon – Saturday (ep. 63)

An alpaca swaggered into the pub wearing a huge slice of toast around her neck.

Reala looked over, grimacing. “Hello there.”

“Hey, hey,” replied Alpaca.

“What’s with the toast?” asked Reala.

“This?” said the Alpaca. “I’m in-bread…”

“Oh no,” sighed Reala.

Empty Pumpkin

Grey Moon – Friday (ep. 62)

“You need to stop killing people,” sighed Yuffie. “It’ll come back to haunt you.”

“I know,” sighed Lucy.

“I never heard from Jane again,” sighed Yuffie. “I’ll assume you had something to do with that.”

“Yes,” said Lucy, “I turned her into an empty grinning pumpkin. Not even a candle inside.”

“Lucy!” gasped Yuffie.

“Yes,” replied Lucy. “I’ll admit, that was a hollow gesture.”

Final Kiss

Capricorn (ep. 77)

“You gave me life,” she sighed.

“I loved you,” she replied.

“You couldn’t leave me be,” she hissed.

“I still love you,” she cried.

“You spoke the prayer, you summoned me,” she growled.

They kissed. Then oblivion.

Math Murder

Grey Moon – Friday (ep. 61)

“What about the French woman?” asked Yuffie.

“Francois?” replied Lucy.

“That’s the one,” said Yuffie.

“I killed her with numbers,” replied Lucy.

“How does that work?” asked Yuffie.

“She had a huit allergy,” grinned Lucy.
