Three Quirky Quickies
A Toilet Epiphany
As Drew got off the toilet, he realized what he must do.
It wasn’t the nicest thing.
But why not have a little fun?
He walked to the sink and thought about his girlfriend, Jenni. She wasn’t going to like it. He scrubbed harder. Iridescent bubbles formed on his hands. She’d be mortified. He rinsed off the soap. He probably wouldn’t get any for a few days. He flung some water from his hands onto the floor.
Before he sat down, he wiped his hands on her face and said, “Don’t you just hate it when there’s no toilet paper?”
An Unfortunate Cookie
Chomping on his chicken lo mein, Tyler wiped the side of his mouth. He took a swig of his Heineken and flipped the channel. Nothing good was on, but he didn’t care.
He was free.
No more girlfriend nagging him about getting a job, losing weight, or drinking less.
He smiled at how relaxing his life would be now.
After he finished, he cracked open his fortune cookie.
It read, “You’re going to die tomorrow.”
Shocked but amused he laughed out loud.
He laughed so hard he didn’t notice that the clock struck midnight as he fell to the ground.
Haunted Humor
Joey loved being a ghost.
She was a prankster in life and continued to be one in the hereafter.
The realtor, Lyla, who was trying to sell the house was her favorite victim. She would flicker the lights, make moaning sounds, and fly through potential customers, chilling them to the bone.
Lyla was sick of it. She didn’t know there was a ghost at the estate, but she was nearly certain.
After a couple of weeks, Lyla noticed nobody was showing up anymore.
She figured it was because of all the oddities.
Nope.
Joey’s crown achievement…she changed the listing’s address.
