“Kids these days don’t know how good they got it,” Kurt muttered under his breath as he pulled into a parking stall of the local mall. “I hear ya, Kurt, god damn zoomers and their bullshit,” Bruce said in agreement, opening the passenger door. “Such bullshit. We have to come to the mall while they’re all in school to avoid their punk asses.” Kurt and Bruce were your stereotypical old white boomers. Hating anything and everything that they didn’t understand. Both were in their late sixties and were enjoying their retirement or at least trying to. In their attempts to stay healthy in their

"My life sucks more then yours does so just drop it" yelled Holly. "What ever my life is ten times worse then yours is..." I yelled back. "You at least get what you want, while I work my ass off to get stuff". I heard a loud crack as she slapped me across the face, leaving a red handprint across my right cheek. I looked at her like what the hell did she just do, but that led to another slap across the other cheek. "How does it feel Mr. Big Shot?" she asked as she brought her hand up to slap me again. "Hurts like hell..." I replied rubbing my cheeks. "Good, now agree that my life is worse then yours, you don't go home to a couple brothere

Another day of working at the local zoo called Bo-Swa Zoo where people were welcomed to go into the animal exhibits and get a first hand view of the animals. I help run the lions exhibit which is very exhausting work but it's really worth it in the end. The only problem is we only have male lions and no females... On numerous occasions I've talked to the people who own the zoo on how we need to get at least one lioness for the exhibit, not only for the lions but for everyone who visits the zoo. People always ask me why there isn't any females and I have to explain ot them that the zoo refuses to get any females.  It's really depressing for m

It was your average day in the little college town of Westward, the streets were filled with college students walking either to campus or far away from campus. It was Halloween and Westward was known for going big on celebrating this holiday. Best friends and room mates Jake and Phoenix were walking towards the small cramped house they were renting for school, it was the cheapest house they could find without having to look at apartments. They didn't mind as they weren't paying a huge lump of cash each month to pay for the rent and the house itself had everything they needed. "What another boring day of school." announced Jake as he unlocke

"Well hello Jack and Har- wait do you still go by Harold?" smiled the lady as she walked over and sat down next to Harold. "I only ask because I think the name Hailey would fit you so well." "It sounds pretty…? But why did you have to make me pregnant?" asked Harold as he gently rubbed his belly. "Well Hailey, it's just something I like to do because I can. Think of it like a special Christmas gift that Santa left under the tree.  I mean I love to watch the awkwardness between friends like you unfold. Oh, I almost forgot to properly introduce myself, if you will call me Gwendolyn or Gwen for short." replied Gwen. "What do you want me to ca

Newlyweds, Kevin and Anna Tates, had been back from their two week honeymoon and were looking forward to getting some post-wedding pictures taken. Their wedding was in the middle of November and they had returned sometime in the first week of December. They wanted to do something holiday themed. It was something Anna wanted to do prior to the wedding, but Kevin had convinced her to wait till after the honeymoon. So here they were sitting in the house that belonged to photographer, Paul Hons, a close friend of Anna’s since preschool. Paul had offered the wedded couple a great deal, a “friends and family discount” if you wil

“Hello folks! My name is Alex Ranger and I’m here today to debunk a myth about this so called ‘haunted trail’. I’ll be taking a jog on the trail while filming with my GoPro strapped to my head. I’ve only seen women leaving the trail after scouting it out briefly, nothing really weird about that per se, it’s a pretty wooded trail so I can only assume women like the privacy.” the young man said into his video camera. “The next time you’ll see me I’ll be starting up on the trail.” Alex stood up and turned off his video camera. After making sure it was off, he went and got c

Twas the night before Christmas and Emmi W. Lams had found herself walking down the snow-covered path in the local park. Trees were lit up with bright Christmas lights and the fountain in the middle shined with a rainbow of colors. She eventually stopped and sat down on an empty bench facing the fountain. Emmi had decided to take a bit of a break after her fantastic Halloween party and just enjoy the holiday season. As she stared up at the lights of the fountain and the surrounding trees, the sound of snow crunching nearby shook her out of the trance. Her eyes followed the source of the steps and saw an old man with a big grey beard walking

“Tristan… wake up. S-something happened to me and I’m fucking scared…” a woman’s voice whispered as she crawled across her roommate’s bed and gently tapped his shoulder as he slept. “I’m trying to sleep. Go away.”  Tristan muttered while trying to fall back asleep. “This is serious… Please…” Alex whispered again, her voice cracking as she began to sob quietly. “Look, I don’t know what my roommate is paying you to do this stunt but I’m trying to sleep. His room is just down the hall and the last door on the right. Goodbye.” Tristan p

Emmi watched as each of her guests changed form, each one making her more giddy than the previous one. Quite a few of her guests had gone above and beyond what she originally thought they would do, but that just made their changes even better. With a chuckle, she briefly thought about what she could possibly do for Halloween next year. The few ideas she quickly thought of didn’t even begin to compare to what she had done tonight. For the first time in a long time, Emmi felt drained from casting her spells. She knew it was from casting such a large spell, which was also why the effects were only going to be temporary. Before she stepped

It was the week before Christmas and Emmi W. Lams had found herself walking around the local mall to people watch while she did a little bit of shopping herself. All throughout the brightly lit mall were signs to see Santa and get a picture with him. To kill some time she followed the signs to the middle of the mall where a large Christmas tree had been set up with a big red velvet chair in front of it. All along the chair were giant looking presents in different colored wrappings and topped with giant bows. Leading up to the chair was a brightly colored red carpet that led right down to a little gate/reef awning. As she got closer, she could
