But there had been no-one else on the bus.

Oooh, intriguing - I love the detail, too


The harmonica was slung from his hip as he walked up to the bar and tried to catch the barman's attention. Minutes passed. Then he blew a note and everything stopped.

The sun was high above the canopy of trees but Kel still could feel the heat burning down on him. What he would have given to have a small breeze flow throught the majestic forest. To have the leaves sing a soft song while cooling him down from the scorching sun would be a blessing indeed.

Just as she was about to leave, the door creaked open. She stopped; stared. There should be no light in there, she thought, and certainly not a blue one.

We faded away like the memories from those horror filled days when it was allowed ascendancy, and in the end I did what I should have done before our choice caused the torture of so many souls.

Hiya guys!

My first line:
It really wasn't all his fault.

[Interference]

Hi, sffhound - nice opening line, there. Hope it's a comedy


Sometimes he'd wake up and not want to kill something. This wasn't one of those times.

Santa stood looking down over his elves. This was once a vast forest, warm and full of life. Now centuries upon centuries later his people were cold and malnourished, evolution turning the once lithe and hearty elf into a small pitiful creature. Unfortunatly Santa had magic on his side and was immortal or he would have perished ages ago before having to witness the demise of a once beautiful species. Elves used to be master wood workers, carving godlike bows and arrows as if they were born to do so. Now they sat on their cold stools and widdled away making trains and yo-yo's. Ah...what could have been but never could have been.

You've probably never heard of Sharatan, or of the planet Ovis, Beta Arietis III.
I wish I hadn't.
I wish I hadn't gone within light-years of the place.
In fact, we should put the whole damn system into quarantine. Now. No exceptions.

Red Rob Murphy reloaded for spite, and emptied his gun again.

It's hell when you wake up dead, and you don't know why.

[Precision Grace]

Correction? it's hell when you wake up dead and you don't know what you did wrong

Admiral Lord Nelson opened his eyes to find himself beached atop a tall column of stone, caked hat to toe in dried guano.

LOL, except he only had one eye..... and the last thing he remembered, was asking Hardy to kiss him!

[ratsy]

If I could turn back time I never would have kissed the girl. That was when things got turned upside down and I ended up in the bottom of the ocean with nothing but a rope and a concrete block. Good thing I keep a razor blade in my mouth.

"Eulalia, marry me!"
