“I’m being ironic, it’s a prank, bro, it’s a social experiment!” said the edgelord as he withered away into a corncob with a Hot Topic sticker on it. “Spicy-and-Sweet Loaf Cereal” is just a l...
prompt: fair, title: the type of thief in misc. flash fiction

Another teevee ad for a prescription drug where the generic could be split in two and it’d be a perfect name for an NPR reporter. “Dupi Lumab, All Things Considered.” My anxiety and panic are...

I wonder if between the end of spring term and the beginning of fall term, Hogwarts students could participate in some kind of Summoner’s Reading Programme. A bludgeoning weapon that’s +2 aga...

You could easily make “Black Betty” into a song about benzo pills. “Whoa Black Betty, diazepam, Whoa Black Betty, alprazolam”. The Scandinavian tourist board should go with the slogan “Have y...
“Did you ever read that book, One Hundred Years of Solitude?” Her wife set the papers she was grading aside, this was going to be One of Those Conversations. “Couldn’t give you Cliff Notes now bu...

I just hope that the Scarlet Witch show has a scene that’s a black-and-white war romance of her and the Vision called FROM HERE TO INFINITY. When it is this hot, we should automatically shut ...

Just realized U.S. Acres was collectively the Jar-Jar Binks of Garfield & Friends. I can just see Jim Davis being like “We have to get U.S. Acres going because they’re the funniest characte...
