 Cold Temper

“NO! PLEASE STOP!” he pleaded as she rained snow over him.

“Pathetic, a little snow won’t kill you.”

“Then why are you doing this?” he shakily asked.

“To show you that my powers are very real. You see I did not take kindly to your mockery and felt an example was needed.”

“Alright, alright, I believe you, you have ice powers. Will you please let me go?” he said, holding up his fists bound to the earth with ice.

“No, I don’t think I will. You see, this tiny sprinkling of snow won’t kill you, but I assure you, my powers can be very deadly.” She clenched her fist and the snow fused together into sharp icicles that landed all around him.

He whimpered, “Please don’t kill me.”

“I won’t. But I will let you go now.” She unclenched her fist and all the snow and ice melted, drenching the man but freeing him of his bonds. “I would not underestimate me again. My powers may be of ice but I assure you I have quite a hot temper.”

“I promise, I will not doubt you or others like you ever again,” he said quickly before sprinting away.

“Good.”

4/18/22 The Hypno-Toilet

  The Hypno-Toilet You stare at the toilet water as it spins round and round. All sense of time is gone as you are mesmerized by the swirl. It is not very fast or harsh, just a steady flow of circling water. The soft swishing noises are so calming and all you can do is stand and stare. A loud buzzing noise, tries desperately to alarm you of the damage being caused to the septic tank. Slowly the tank fills up higher and higher with the wasted toilet water. You cannot hear the alarm, you are too entranced by the water in the bowl.  As the water level rises in the underground tank, the alarm continues to blare. The little pump works as hard as it can, but without your help, it is helpless. The thought of leaving the bathroom hasn’t even crossed your mind. All that flows through your brain is the soft swirling water.  The toilet water consumes your thoughts, nothing else matters to you anymore, only the water. You aren’t even sure why it is happening, the swirling water is nice yes

12/25/22 Paper Floor

  Paper Floor Boxes, bags, and wrapping paper were scattered across the floor. It was hard to step on just the carpet without getting some form of paper on your foot. It seemed like the floor was completely covered and the mess would be impossible to clean.  The next day the mess stayed, no one cleaning it up. The day after that and the day after that, nothing was done about it. The carpet was no more, it was just trampled wrapping paper and squished bags. Years passed, they forgot what the carpet even looked like in the living room. They had grown so accustomed to the paper, it just felt right now. They didn’t miss the carpet and didn’t mind the mess, and so the wrapping paper stayed, on the floor, forever. The End 12/25/22

9/22/22 We the Dreamers

  We the Dreamers We the dreamers, we the inventors, we the artists, we who wish for something more than what we already have, we create. Sometimes our creations are logical and possible. But other times we delve into the impossible, the dreams we wish would come true.  Anything can come from nothing if you dream hard enough. Everything already came from nothing, first there was nothing, and then there was everything. We continue on to make everything, even things that don’t exist.  The physical creations and the theoretical dreams alike, leave us striving for greatness. It makes us want to be better than we are, more than we can be, even if it is just a dream. Our brains are powerful, wonderful, amazing devices that let us learn and explore and create. To create, be original, discover or come up with something new, that is what we do. We the dreamers make the world a more interesting place. The End 9/22/22
