Barnyard Antics
When Noah was ten years old, his parents got a divorce. Unfortunately, Noah's mother moved to Colorado, and his father moved to Canada. Noah's parents left him in Louisiana with his paternal grandmother. His grandmother lived on a farm filled with all kinds of animals. The first day Noah was too upset to leave his new room. He stared at the ceiling and tried to listen to his favorite music on his cell phone, but there was no internet connection in the house. Noah started walking all over the farm, holding up his cell phone, trying to get a signal. Finally, he found a weak signal inside his grandmother's barn.

Fresno
“I wonder if he’s in there?” Margaret said in a whisper. “If we don’t know he’s in there, why are we just standing here looking at the door?” Shirley said in a rebellion of good sense. “Why don’t we just knock and find out?”

Weapon of Choice
It was hot and still when Terre went to bed. It was one of those nights that sleep proved elusive and he was restless, his eyes open in defeat. After watching the shadows of window-framed trees wiggle on the wall, he flipped back toward the window with a sigh and looked outside. The landscape was lit up and he could see a hundred yards out. It was weird like that way up here in the mountains. Normally dark this far away from town, the landscape would light up when the moon was full. You didn’t even need a flashlight unless you went back in the trees. He was just closing his eyes when he saw a quick flash. He frowned and watched. There it was again, another flash. He couldn’t pinpoint the source, and worried maybe it was a spark from his fan, he sat up and turned it off.

Global Scientists Remain Puzzled By Findings from Extraterrestrial ‘Film’
In what has become a source of great anxiety for the entire planet top scientists from around the world announced no progress in their quest to understand the Alien Atlas (AA), the alternate universe earth ‘film’ received six months ago from somewhere near the Andromeda galaxy (M31). It is presumed that the AA was sent to earth deliberately by an intelligent alien species though the purpose remains unclear. Included in the transmission containing the atlas were instructions to decrypt the alien files in every currently and formerly spoken earth language and the foreboding phrase “learn from this or yours will be a similar fate.”

Chocoholic
"We have a lovely flourless chocolate cake with a raspberry sauce for dessert." I did my best not to make a face, failing. My brow wrinkled and I smirked a bit. I’m a purist when it comes to chocolate.

Makin' Her Way, the Only Way She Knows How
"You're incredible, you know that pig?" Arielle asked in a muffled voice. "Well thank you miss, it's always a pleasure to receive positive feedback from clients," came the genuinely happy sounding response from the reason for Arielle's discomfort. "In my line of work it's usually, 'Eff off and die pig!' Or, 'I hope you choke on your donut!'" Deputy McCarthy went on, her strong hands continuing to press the younger woman up against the cobweb infested wall as she checked for weapons.

People Like cake
“Slice it any way you want; it’s cake all the way down. Think about it. What’s the peak of it all? You could be having sex, snorting coke, or eating a double fudge layered chocolate cake.

Friendship is sturdier than ice
