Tiny Tales

Ten tiny tales of terror, told in just ten words.

1. Peter never liked liver--especially when it was his own.

2. The wood chipper jammed. Fresh limbs will sometimes do that.

3. Mary loved the quiet, shady spot. So did the tarantulas.

4. The hungry bear surprised Malcolm. It finished both his sisters.

5. Swinging reminded her of childhood. Mother had hanged herself too.

6. Charlie was grandma’s favorite. The other grandchildren were slightly undercooked.

7. Rex had fleas. Ellen thought the escargots were much better.

8. John suspected Alice poisoned his coffee. It was his tea.

9. Rattlesnakes hate the cold. They loved Billy’s warm sleeping bag.

10. Death was quick and painless. Henry promised he’d practice more.

If you come up with one of your own, please send it to me. I'd love to read it!
