Seven year old Matthew Nicholas Dorsey had to pee. Badly. This was an awkward feeling. He really only liked using the toilet at home. In fact, he was terrified of foreign toilets. Right now, he is in the third grade, and not getting out any time soon. He is standing in line holding a large rock, waiting for a chance to place it in a five-gallon bucket full of water. Why? I am not telling you right now, and neither is he.
A True Life Tale
Billy Joe Fish 01 May, 2020
The theme of this week was true life stories. This is a little story of a youthful adventure.
This is the story of an impetuous boy. It takes place during the winter in rural Massachusetts, the first Saturday of December. Those days well after all the leaves have fallen and crumbled to dust but before the heavy snowfall has come. In later years I found it to be a dreary period but as a young boy it was a time of crisp air and wonders. On this Saturday morning the house was bustling with my older brothers and sisters getting ready for their important teenage activities.
Been Caught Stealing

Filka looked at the merchandise, all upside-down and attached to the topsides of the shelves. The floor above him had a matte finish and he couldn't see his reflection as he floated past shelf after shelf, taking his time. All of the security cameras in the place were trained on him, not that it mattered, they couldn't catch him, no sir.
Three Feet Above The Earth

Michlovio bent down the short distance and pinched between his stubby fingers a bent rusty nail he had just spotted in the gutter. He had to adjust his hip pocket where his moldy wallet and visa crumpled in order to flex his knees easily. He stood up and looked down at its color of red. He often found things he didn’t dislike on the ground.
Sweaters, Woolen coats and Microwaves

Jim Jamerson sipped on his drink which he had oh so ingeniously had put in his crystal wine glass. The shape of the glass allowed him to fully smell his drinks, a vital component in tasting what you're about to consume. He cringed but a little as the overly sweetened berry bubble gum flavor hit his palate or what he thought was berry bubble gum, the can which it originated was entirely in Korean with a blue demon dancing on a disco floor. Regardless the very best Korean DDR (whatever that was) players and some of the very the average Korean Starcraft players drank this to be on their best; and today if there ever was a day to be at his best it was today.
