Ducker went through life snapping his toes. I suspect you think that that sounds a bit gross and it might be a bit painful. And you’re also under that impression that that might be just a little bit too much information. Perhaps it’s something which you’d rather not know. And since Ducker really liked to snap his toes. And since snapping one’s toes is very difficult to do while wearing shoes and/or socks, Ducker had a great disdain for wearing either shoes or socks.

Ina Hurry sometimes felt like she had the rottenest luck. She knew she was going to have a very short childhood. That was what all the other kids on the playground said.

Then she would fit in with them. Then she could be their friend.

Danwe lived in a vase. It was not a regularly shaped vase. Danwe's vase had a tall cylindrical section. That is to say it was taller than it was wide. This section of the vase was similar in shape to a can of spam, but much nicer looking. This section was just tall enough for Danwe to stand and walk comfortably in. When I say Danwe lived in a vase, I mean he lived in a vase. That is to say, he never left. He had lived here all his life, all by himself. So what happens when Danwe finally leaves his vase and starts exploring? What will his world be like?

Welcome to The School of Godology. Whereas theology schools focus on religion, The School of Godology focuses on God. This course - God 101 - is a course on what/who God is. This course discusses different aspects of God to give you a general idea of what/who God is. God 101 is a pass/fail course. In order to pass, you must consider all of the information presented and present a paper discussing what/who God might be, ending with the conclusion that nobody really knows what/who God is. Any person (angels excluded) concluding that they know what/who God is will fail.

The bear rampaged through the Mansion, sending the Jim O'Leary's scurrying in every direction. This was the Jim O'Leary Mansion and always had been for many generations of Jim O'Leary's. The current Jim O'Leary had been preparing for this moment all his life, and even before.

Perhaps the first word we think of when we hear the word Rose is the word Love. Roses are considered to be an intimate gift by some. Most of us are familiar with Roses. Most have seen a Rose, held it, and deeply inhaled its fragrance- though the fragrance causes headaches for some. But just how familiar are we with the Rose? How intimate are we with it? In this book, I'll explore the various parts of the Rose in more detail without getting technical. Many things in this book you'll already be familiar with. I hope you enjoy the memories. If you're looking to give an intimate gift like a Rose, perhaps it will make it a more special gift if you're more intimate with it. Every species has their own language. This is the Word of the Rose. I hope you read it with a Rosy disposition.

Appli Kay Wisper thought that things at Wizard School would be different. Why had she thought that? Well it was Wizard School. And well, Wizards were different. And maybe things were different here.

But she thought of bricks as being rather plain. And she certainly was anything but plain. Well, she couldn’t think for the moment of something which was solid, but which was not plain.

Poems that make you smile

Poems that make you groan

Poems that make you wonder

Why you're reading them alone

Poems that rhyme with rhythm

Poems that simply don't

Poems that to you make sense

Poems that surely won't

Who writes these poems anyway

Whose mind has gone astray

Just tell your tales the normal way

I don't have time to play

Poetry fans will like them

Laureates will not

Short stories added for a treat

To thicken out the plot

Where do we find security? What happens when, even though we’re surrounded by that security, our worst nightmare comes to life? What if we were raised differently from everybody else? What if we lived our lives like everybody else, but when we went home it was too different? Would we stray from the confines of what we know, just to be normal? Just so we could be like everybody else? Or would we stay within what we knew, no matter how strange it was? From one weirdo to another, stay weird and enjoy the ride!
