PINK PIXIE DUST

On their way back to Neverland. Tinkerbell and Peter fly down to grab a bite to eat at Mickey D's.

 "Welcome to McDonald's may I take your order?"  Asks the elder gentleman working the register.

 "Yes, A Big Mac, please."

 "Would you like the meal instead?"

 "Yes, that's fine."

 "What would you like to drink?"

 "Coke please."

 "Medium or Large?"

 "Medium."

 "Will this be for here or to go?"

 "To go."

 "Will that complete your order?"

 "Yes, thank you."

 "That will be $6.50. Cash or credit?"

 "Um, one moment sir."

 Peter now whispering, "Yeah Tink, he wants us to pay him. You know with a gold coin or something. What? You want to use the pink pixie dust on him. Okay, but what does it do again?"

MR. KWAKU

This is Joshua’s eleventh summer collecting spiders around the outside of the house. And this summer he did so without his best friend, who died the year before. Using a twig, he coaxes an eight legged green-eyed monster from its lair beneath the siding, and into a jar. “Joshua dinner is ready, come inside.” His mother yells out the kitchen window. Running to his room, he leaves the jar on the nightstand before washing up. While they ate, Joshua's parents gossiped about the goings-on in town. “Another suicide. She was the daughter of the Gables across town. Such a lovely girl, so sad.” His mother whispered. Joshua finishing his plate excuses himself and heads to his room. In his room, he draws a book from his desk and leafs through its pages. Curious he thought, not finding his spider listed in his book of spiders. Tossing the book aside and bringing the jar on the nightstand close to his face. He stares at his green-eyed captive long into the night. *** “Jos...

A FINE BLACK SUIT

Family and friends gathered at my parents home to pray and pay their respects. After the formalities of tea and crumpets. The guests, one after another, went upstairs to my mother's bedroom to say their goodbyes. It was then that I noticed an elderly gentleman wearing a fine black suit, a kind face and an eerie grin. He appeared oddly familiar, as if from some forgotten dream. He entered the bedroom and stood at the side of my mother's bed. He held her hand as he leaned over to whisper something in her ear. And mother, eyes closed, whispered something back. He turned about now facing the bedroom door and walked past me not saying a word, nor did I for that matter. I watched him at a distance as he retrieved a black hat and walking stick. Donning the hat, he walked out the front door and never looked back. When I asked about the gentleman in the fine black suit, mother knew not of whom I spoke. Shortly after, she passed away.

PROXIMA b

For one year our radio telescopes picked up broadcasts transmitted from another world. A world 4.3 light years away. Our linguists deciphered their language. And our scientists found a way of getting us there. My partner and I trained extensively, for the twenty-year mission. We were ready to go. After arriving and orbiting the planet, debris struck and damaged our ship. Descending, we crash-land in a desert. In and out of consciousness, I heard a cacophony of  machinery  and voices. And one loud voice, saying, “Clean this up, leave nothing and take these two, to Area 51!”
