Greetings Earthlings,

Here is another entry to the 100 Word Stories Podcast’s Weekly Challenge with the topic being “The Voice”

IT’S RIGHT!

With the object it in my hand The Voice in my head said “It’s Right”

But I knew that it wasn’t right.

Again The Voice said, “It’s right and you know it”

No, it can’t be right, it just can’t, as far back as my grade school days

I knew it wasn’t right, but then maybe the voice was correct.

The voice said, “now you’re coming around to my way of thinking, it’s right”

Well, no hurt in trying.

Right 15,

now to the left past 15 to 35,

back right, back to 24,

With a click, the lock opened.

Greetings Earthlings,

Here’s another entry that I forgot to post. It’s called The Chair

“The Chair has been watching you and wants your resignation on his desk now” Stella calmly stated to Frank the file clerk.

“Why me?” Frank retorted.

“Well, let’s see…. ” Stella replied.

“You come in late and leave early”

“You spend half your day around the coffee pot”

“You take three hour lunches”

“You’re lazy”

“You’re incompetent”

“You lie and cheat your fellow employees on the football pool”

“You’ve sexually harassed almost every female here, along with a couple of the men.”

“Oh, and by the way, Frank” Stella continued

“Starting on Monday, you’re hired back as a mid-level manager”

Greetings Earthlings, it is I, Planet Xray,to bring you another 100 Word Story for the Weekly Challenge, #114, with the not so brief topic that Justin brought us.

It’s called

True Love?

When Daphne was fourteen she thought she loved Laurence so very much. She would stop him everyday to ask him questions like, “What is a girl suppose to do when she knows her destiny is to marry someone and he won’t even acknowledge her existence?” Always, Laurence would just stare with a blank face.

But it was when he finally answered her questions with “What would you do if you found yourself face to face with a dragon and all you had was a boyscout handbook and a pinata costume?” that she knew that Laurence was only full of crap.

Here’s my entry for the 100 Word Stories Podcast’s Weekly Challenge with the topic of Purity

Purity

The oldest house in our neighborhood was always the center of activity, in it lived the pastor of the local church.

Purity, the pastor’s daughter, was always prim and proper, an example for the neighborhood.

When they moved, the house sat empty for a very long time, until Purity bought it for her family.

Soon, Purity had her own daughters living with her, each were very pretty, and had names like, Charity, Destiny, Faith, and Grace.

And her mission was so much like her father’s, to provide a little heaven for each of their visitors, twenty bucks at a time.

Here’s Planet Xray’s entry for the 100 Word Stories Podcast’s Weekly Challenge #112, Whiskey

Recently, at a movie premier, Jimmy Buffet was walking along the gold carpet and asked Steve Jobs what the one brand of whiskey he enjoyed.

Steve replied, that as The Chair of a distillery company that used cereal in the process of creating a lower priced whiskey, he had made it taboo to discuss it with outsiders.

He did say that the actual recipe and process was kept under lock and key in a steamer trunk and was guarded by zombies. The one person who had scene it, now sang like a nightingale and lived a life in the sewers.

Little Johnny

Little Johnny always loved his Alpha-Bits, he sometimes would pick out letters from the cereal bowl and spell out words on the table, shocking his mother.

Today was different, the cereal started to form words by themselves, even before he picked them from the bowl.

At first they were simple words like “today”,  ”you” and “will”,  but when “die” formed in the milk, Johnny started to get scared, scared enough not to notice the droplet of blood that came from the knife his mother had just shoved into his ear.

“Can you spell-out fuck you now Johnny” his mother said.

Here’s this week’s 100 Word Stories Podcast’s weekly challenge with the topic being TABOO

Sandwich Anyone?

As he paced along the HMS Resolution deck, Captain Cook stared at his first officer and shouted, “It’s tapu to eat that damn fruit?”

“No sir”, Lieutenant Clerke responded, “The chief said it was taboo or forbidden to eat the fruit from the sacred tree”

“Taboo or not, that fruit is essential to preventing scurvy amongst the crew, why look at Old Murduck Mahoney on the last voyage” Cook replied.

“Sir, the chief said, no one was to eat that fruit, and sir, they don’t have the taboo of making a sandwich out of me or you” Lieutenant Clerke replied.

Keep it brief

Keeping it brief.

Larry switched on the mixer then adjusted the microphone, bring the pop filter closer.
Adjusting the volume, he checked the input level meter as he spoke.
“Podcasting is crap, and I’m full of it.”
Good levels, maybe a little more bass, a little less treble. Try it again.
“Podcasting is full crap, and I’m the master of it.”
That’s good, now all he needed was the story, a nice deviant story.
Zombies, no, did that enough already,
Mustard Man, no, too long ago
Doctor Odd, yeah, that’s the ticket, just the thing…
and only 6 months since the last Dr. Odd.
Let’s see,

Dr. Odd observed the monkeys as they sat at the typewriters, writing replies to his fan mail.
Keeping notes on which monkey was typing the fastest, which one had the least amount of spelling errors.
Laieanna had already finished her third letter,
Elisson hardly completed his second,
Tom had pulled the ribbon off his machine and was trying to eat it, and Guy,
well Guy was just sitting there on top of the machine keeping beat to some imaginary music.
This was much more productive then when he gave them computers, then they spent all their time surfing the internet.

Yes, that would do it… 100 words exactly, as he pushed the record button.

Greetings Earthlings, welcome to another 100 Words Stories Podcast weekly challenge and Planet Xray’s entry. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did writing it. If it sound’s mushy, all I can say is that I’m old, so live with it.

I Love You

I lie awake at night thinking of love I have lost because of what I didn’t say.

My first love came early in life, Pamela, and at a time when we could be carefree, with the whole world out there.

We would spend afternoons on those cold, winter days, next to the fireplace listening to our LPs.

We would have them all stacked up on the stereo spindle ready to go, The Beatles, Turtles, and our favorite, The Zombies.

The rhythm of our love keeping beat to the Zombies’ music.

Now all lost, because I didn’t say,

I Love You

Be sure to stop by the 100 Word Stories website and list to all the entries for this week’s challenge, then vote for the one you like best <wink><wink>

100 Word Stories Podcast, Weekly Challenge #103

Greeting Earthlings, here is Planet Xray’s entry for 100 Word Stories Podcast, Weekly Challenge #103, with the theme being Steamer Trunk.

The Steamer Trunk
Jack opened the Steamer Trunk, quickly stuffing the Nightingale Sister’s limp, lifeless bodies inside. Throwing in the red rose, he lost sight of the petals against the blood soaked dresses. Using rags, he wiped up the rest of the blood and tossed them inside also, locking the Trunk.

His hobby so easy; there were so many young ladies who believed that young men wanted nothing more than to be in their company and spend money.

Dragging the trunk slowly down the stairs, he opened the door and tossed the trunk into the underground river, to a life in the sewers.
