Absurdism and Something Resembling Horror

Very Short Stories #1

Very Short Stories #1

(read desc.)

"How terrible-to feel everything, and still get full credit for being dead." Ilario thought to himself as his arm fell off again.


Abusing their inexplicable time travel powers probably wasn't the best idea, thought the girls as they continued to do so anyway.


"It's not as though they were using their limbs anymore," Lena stated in the boy's defense. 

 

They had always assumed that Pineapples would be the most likely fruit to attempt mass genocide. And yet the persimmons persisted.


"Is this horror or comedy?" the writer asked, chewing her pen before using it to scratch the side of her head. "I don't think that it's either, " replied the creature, the needle teeth he possessed looking even more unnatural through the movement of his jaw, "as that would imply that what you are writing could be considered frightening and/or funny. I must admit that I am not versed in such topics. I am, however, versed in being the physical manifestation of your worst describable fears. Could we focus on that, please?"

Just a few short ideas I've had floating around but don't want to try to force into being a larger thing. I am working on another short story, although whether or not I finish it before the sun runs out of hydrogen to fuse is a bit up in the air at the moment.

The first story's quote is a remix of a famous one from Slaughterhouse Five, so credit to Vonnegut for giving me that to work off of.

I'm significantly better at coming up with short, one off quotes than I am with making whole stories, so I'd be completely down for writing more of these.

Honestly I just keep accidentally coming up with story ideas and I feel like if I don't get them down soon my head will run out of storage space.
