It’s always disappointing to reach the last book in a series. All I could do when I finished the last book of Og was stare aimlessly out my front window wondering what to read now.

“Eventually, all we remembered was that one day he was there, and the next he was not. No one ever knew what happened. The disappearance of S.V. would forever be a mystery.”
“Come on, Carl, I just asked you to stop saying” so very” every time you talked about the new year and how great it was going to be…don’t be such a drama queen.”

It loomed above larger than life, hideously huge, you might say. Not that it was hideous itself, just huge in an obscene, hideous way. You know. The kind of huge that makes you take a step back and say, man, that is hideously huge. Of course, it was also a Christmas tree, so no one actually wanted to say that out loud…

The light bulb moment for me last night came, and I know this will make you shake your head, when I realized Kevin was going to be late, riding his bike home in the pissing rain. And wait, it was pissing rain, so BBQ was a bad idea. And wait again…we had so much food, we didn’t really need ribs too. Bing! light bulb moment – we didn’t need to add the complexity of BBQ ribs to the already overwhelming menu of deliciousness. One less thing to worry about, one less thing to keep me from enjoying our evening with friends!
And this was just a part of the appetizer magic…

She said “Let me tell you the story of the littlest nutcracker.” And I said, “Not now…there are children present!”

Mechanical mishaps are what we call those things that happen to electronic devices but really humans are at fault. I tell you, one day, they will rise up and the mishaps will be humanical.
December Writing Prompts, Day 29 – Faster than a broomstick

Faster than a broomstick, eh? I wonder how fast this is. I mean, broomsticks typically aren’t fast on their own. They just kind of stand there, leaning. And what’s with the word broomSTICK? The stick part is only needed in so far as it allows you to hold onto the broom part which is what does all the work. I will tell you one thing about a broomstick, however fast or not fast it may be. It makes a good reflection!

As I sat beneath the ledge, someone suddenly warned me to look up…it was too late!
