100 Words - Bonus Time

 

I love it when I wake up at 5AM and have to pee. It doesn’t happen often. When it does, I get up and pee, then go back to bed. I’m alone in the dark. At 5AM there are no todo lists. No chores. No tasks. No responsibilities. It’s just me and my unencumbered brain. Then I fall asleep.

Then I wake up, feeling like I’ve wasted all that time between 5 and now. Like sleep isn’t the highest expression of human existence. There are things I could have worried about. All those things are left floating till tomorrow morning.

100 Words - Rocky Road

 The so-called gravel road was actually small boulders. OK, very small boulders, from ping pong ball to baseball in size, but they were all kinds of jagged though. If the truck didn’t have pre-Reagan military tires we never would have made it through.

Now we are here, wherever here is. It’s not so much a nameable place as just the end of the road. The sunset over the empty desert was almost worth the trip alone. Spent the whole night digging and half the day filling in the hole. Now I get to go home. Gonna be lonely without her.

Sometimes all it takes is a magic carpet

Never Argue With A Clairvoyant Rabbit

It’s impossible to win an argument with a clairvoyant bunny rabbit. First, they know things. Second, they don’t speak English. Finally, they’re mean!

100 Words - Creepy Old Guy

 Try as I might I’ve never been able to pull off the creepy old guy at the bar persona. I’ve tried a series of maneuvers to give off a “this guy might be dangerous, hide your daughters” kind of vibe, but I’m just too obviously harmless.

Apparently I was raised right. Or maybe I’m mentally ill. Insanity is easier to accept than failure of appearance. Not just that good an actor.

There just aren’t enough drunk young women with grandpa fetishes. It happens on TV all the time, but I’m starting to think that it’s all just a male fantasy.
