I think the witches had it right.

ClareGreen · 08-19-2012, 08:14 PM

The roar of the engine, the buzz of the propellor, the demented howl of the wind in the gunports, the flick of arrows past the canopy - hang on, arrows?

Shoestring · 08-19-2012, 10:55 PM

"Why does your dragon's breath smell like mint?"

lilyWhite · 08-19-2012, 11:10 PM

The spinning head and ringing in my ears reminded me once again that alcohol had nothing on the hangover that siren song could leave you with.

Shoestring · 08-19-2012, 11:28 PM

"Michelle, the last girl you sent me on a date with had tentacles," Thomas groaned.

ClareGreen · 08-20-2012, 12:22 AM

"Let's go see Agincourt, she said - but she didn't say anything about the bloody mud, it's going to take days to get this lot off!"

druid12000 · 08-20-2012, 12:27 AM

Alex watched with growing horror as his severed hand crawled toward the gun.

Shoestring · 08-20-2012, 06:53 AM

This is so cliche, I couldn't help but write it. xD

Allow me to plant this simple thought in your mind, in that this world you are yet living in could very well be the dream.

druid12000 · 08-20-2012, 08:14 AM

The customer service representative approaching did not look happy, but Suzie was adamant, her brain was defective and she would not take on for an answer.

Anaximander · 08-20-2012, 12:33 PM

Gornak's attempt to drink wine from the skulls of his enemies was thwarted as the liquid ran out of the eyeholes, prompting a deep depression that lasted several days - until someone suggested using them as novelty snackbowls instead.

dclary · 08-20-2012, 06:22 PM

The pumpkin curse is upon me and I must sleep lest I take root and change fully, egads I feel the tendrils even now -- I spit upon the day I became enthralled and enslaved by the ghastly bite of the great pumpkin, doomed to walk the earth Gourdferatu: Werepumpkin!

Microscopic black holes make an excellent exfoliant.

Now that I have a chance to tell my side of the story, you will see I had very good reasons to electrify the Eiffel Tower.

I'll see your cliché and raise you a mirror scene:

That morning, I looked in the mirror, expecting my normal blond hair and blue eyes; instead, what I found staring back at me was a unicorn--with a monacle.

*muses for a moment, then lays down the cards* I'm afraid I must fold. A mirror scene is simply too strong a hand.

I tugged at my empty pockets, knowing that I might have been able to win that game of exceptional skill and wit, had my opponent not been a unicorn--with a monocle.

ClareGreen · 08-21-2012, 01:36 AM

That morning, I looked in the mirror, expecting my normal blond hair and blue eyes; perhaps strangely, that was exactly what I saw.

druid12000 · 08-21-2012, 04:40 AM

"Holy Christ what's happenin' ta me", Peter exclaimed, as he looked into the mirror to find a unicorn with a monicle, some weird dudes, and an avatar staring back at him.

AlexPiper · 08-21-2012, 04:46 AM

Just because a unicorn is nearsighted doesn't mean that it can't still hurt you.

druid12000 · 08-21-2012, 04:53 AM

Peter crawled from under the bed, his eyes cinched shut, praying that the image he had just seen in the mirror was an hallucination.

Shoestring · 08-21-2012, 07:33 AM

As a therapist to embittered mythological creatures I hear many strange things, but listening to a cyclops talk about a boyhood crush on his unicorn neighbor was almost too much for me.

Jayje_Athravein · 08-21-2012, 08:02 AM

If there's one thing I HATE with the burning intensity of an Aztec war god, it's dinosaur chili!

Fallen Angel · 08-21-2012, 11:08 AM

You would think with the invention of computers that forms in duplicate would be obsolete. Somebody found a way to make them mandatory again. And again they were made obsolete when the captain booted into a old posthuman program given to her world as a gift during the earliest years of colonization.

Oldbrasscat · 08-21-2012, 07:44 PM

OK, I'm calling...

"It would seem," said the unicorn, polishing his monocle, "That I must apologize for having initiated this series of events."

Shoestring · 08-21-2012, 08:36 PM

I call.

"I'm supposed to believe you failed the maneuver because you 'saw a horse with a horn in the ship's cockpit'?" My C.O. screamed.

Oldbrasscat · 08-22-2012, 01:58 AM

Well, we can't finish this hand until the druid shows us his...

"Hey, Peter, are you in or out of this poker game?" called the unicorn, drunkenly twirling his monocle around the end of his horn.
