One!
Damien stares flatly at the people crossing the road. One day they’re all going to get killed, crossing during the red-man sign. But time passes ever so slowly and he gets annoyed, so he looks left, looks right, then left again. Just this once, and he hurries across the road.
Two!
He is running the threadmill in the gym when he accidentally hears something that makes him double up with laughter and slide off the threadmill in a heap of spasms – the tall, muscular guy beside him bellows to his friend, “Would you stop it? I just had my nails done!”
Three!
Benny’s furniture is in shambles, and he knows it. When his prim and proper future mother-in-law dusts the stool with a flourish and sits on it, poised elegantly, only to have it break under her weight, he could not help but to chuckle. He does not like her much anyway.
Four!
Having been told that her dog was of a relatively small size for its breed and completely harmless, they make their way up in the luxurious condominium’s lift that leads them right to her doorstep. Having walked in, they rush out immediately shouting, “Are you serious? It’s a freakin’ wolf!”
Five!
Puzzled yet amused at the turning heads and giggles, Daryl attempts to figure out the reason. I wonder if it’s my hair. No, I think it’s my awesome new pants. “Nice ripped pants, dude.” A passerby sniggers with a smirk. Wait, what! With that, his hands flew to his bottom.
TYVM DC! C:
These stories are well-written with a good understanding of beginning, middle and end – well done!
