Please
don't!!! Nana screamed with tears in her eyes. But it was already too late. Her
husband had just jumped off the six story building dissolving into a nasty
splat on the pavement below.
***************
She
reached for the light as the world blurred into a watery abyss. But just when
she had given up, she felt a strong grip pull her to the surface, the hero in
her lover was at her rescue.
***************
5
minutes ago he left the hospital diagnosed with chronic liver cancer, 1hr later
he is in a bar drowning his sorrows in a bottle of vodka, he was going to die
anyway.
***************
Sweaty
shirts, greasy palms he gulps, then slowly takes aim...squeezing, he expels a
stream of araldite onto the car's brake piston... Only one other person
witnessed the sabotage.

John
has never been religious, but viewing the word through the lens of a microscope
he couldn't help but wonder, if there be so elegant a design, surely there must
be a designer?

Staring
at the beautiful creature they had just brought into the world, they knew he
was special, no, not because of their pastor's prophecies, but in those tiny
features laid hope for their dying marriage.
***************
They
got on their feet and showered the foreigners with praise, unbeknownst that
they had just traded in their future generations for material things that will
fade
***************
In a
world where love was just another dictionary word... They couldn't help but
fear the uncertainty as their lips parted ways underneath the cozy palm tree.

What
animal stands on 3 legs asked the wolf to the cornered sheep?... A kangaroo?
The frightened sheep offered... No! Lamb stew on a table for one.
***************
She
couldn't bear to witness her husband disintegrate into an incoherent mess as
the Alzheimer's disease progressed to stage 3. But she still loved him, not for
the man he once was, but for the subtle warming smile that never left his face.
He would forever remain her knight in shiny armor.

These stories, as short as the are, carry a great amount of detail. It's a amazing how few words could provoke deep very deep emotions. One is able to relate to what ever the character is going through and through that, find a special connection. I found myself interested in finding out what happened to Nana, the married couple, the couple under the palm tree. The one about the sheep was humorous.
