Cat in Space<br />

and a few o<strong>the</strong>rs...<br />

Exquisite corpse stories written by<br />

everyone<br />

...He notices that his partner is no longer awake,<br />

what a surprise, he normally falls asleep before him.<br />

He drifts into sleep, thinking <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> day he’s had,<br />

wishing his partner wakes up, knowing he won’t.<br />

It felt very rough to <strong>the</strong> touch. Somehow, it was<br />

prickly, spiny, splintery, pokey, and almost hurtful.<br />

And not to mention <strong>the</strong> horrible smell!<br />

The wind could never trust <strong>the</strong> trees to keep <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

secrets, so <strong>the</strong> wind just stopped blowing and went<br />

away forever, which caused <strong>the</strong> breeze to become<br />

depressed, and <strong>the</strong>y slowly died.<br />

I’m not sure why I even asked her. I knew it was a<br />

bad idea. I do that kinda stuff all <strong>the</strong> time: do something<br />

even though I know it’s a bad idea.<br />

The Hollow Home<br />

As <strong>the</strong> apple fell from <strong>the</strong> sky, <strong>the</strong> woman came and<br />

yelled, “Ahhh,” and she disappeared. Kabow.<br />

Who would have guessed that something like that<br />

could have happened? How could a vampire fall<br />

in love with a werewolf? The night ended quietly,<br />

no more laughter, her songs sang. Body scattered<br />

around <strong>the</strong> yard.<br />

Cat in Space<br />

This beautiful fair complected girl that has hazel eyes.<br />

She sat <strong>the</strong>re silently, a grimace on her face. She started<br />

breathing harder than normal and soon she was out.<br />

And that was that. As soon as it was over, it was<br />

almost as if nothing had even happened. How could<br />

something that at one moment so life-changing<br />

simply come to pass?
