Factory
There is a factory. Somewhere deep into the recess of society, this factory dwells well hidden. "What does it do?" I hear you ask well it churns. "Churns?" Yes it churns out.
Churning in is not its speciality, but churning out this factory, all-day and un-relentless in its quest. "What quest?" You ponder further. Strictly a quest it has not embarked on, but the drive is there.
This factory is the devils work and it pumps the hypocrisy into society. "Hypocrisy?" Oh yes, it's a sustainable energy source of sorts. The more hypocritical we are, the more self-inflated we become, the more money we spend, and society is sustained.
Well now the owner. That's you and I. "Me?" Yes you, who else? In sorts we all own the factory, we all put in our two cents and voice ourselves one way or another.
"I wouldn't!" You do, I hate to be the bearer of bad new but you are the key, as am I. I guess it's time I told you what it churns "Yes please" far too eager never-the-less.
The factory churns out culture. "Culture?" Yes. Over indulgent, naked, hypocritical and inoffensive offence culture. "Who are you?" Questions still? I am it. "What?"
The factory. "Who am I" You wonder more! You are the factory too.
The Devil is a Child
"Do you see this dear?" The wife busies herself amongst the pots and pans, the kitchens toil and trouble. "This 'mother' says she wishes her step children had never been born."
"How awful." The husband puts his paper down and removes his spectacles, very pretentiously.
"What's wrong?" Double bubble toil and trouble,
"Nothing but I...don't really like your kids either..." Open mouthed and catching flies he leapt from his chair to rain down a furious vengeance upon this vile wench.
"Why would you say that? They're just children! All they want to do is have fun, and muck around, and you wished they weren't born!" her reaction was stone faced and emotionless the seeds of wisdom having been planted planted.
"No...I just think our lives would be easier" his reaction is tearful anger "I do love them"
"You love them? That's like dropping some kittens off a bridge in a bag then joining the RSPCA" He slumped down into his chair, anger and sadness freely flowing, but none of it being channelled.
"Your children don't like me Mark. I'm sorry, but it's true."
"That makes them wrong?" Smile creeping across her face was benevolent.
"No it's just God and the Devil playing their little games."
"What?" He laughed "Fuck God and the devil. In fact fuck world religion all together."
Lunging out of her caged kitchen, the psychological barrier now removed, and the social construct being lifted "Don't you see Mark?" Hissing. " Don't you see? The Devil is a Child! We're just playing its game!"
Walking in Your Dreams
In my dreams I am who does great things. I risk life and limb to do all manner of interesting a awe-inspiring things. I climb tall mountains and swim vast rivers; I sleep snow and run with wolves, I talk to natives and rest in trees. In my dreams I am an adventurer.
In my dreams I have a wife who loves me undoubtedly. We make love at night and hold hands in our minds all day. We rarely fight, but sometimes do, I couldn't live a lie. I take no lovers and am faithful, never abusing her trust, and she never abuses mine. In my dreams I am loved.
In my dreams I run a business and am adored by all. They tell me their ambitions and I reply 'There's no need to not dream'. I smile and laugh, and they do too, because I am a great man. They understand that I am self-made, but that it's not impossible. In my dreams I am mortally successful.
In my dreams I am a man of faith. I have found salvation but most of all have found a friend. I have found a God with whom to confide, who talks to me all day. I help the poor and clean peoples souls when they are in great fear. In my dreams I am a bringer of hope and beacon of light.
In my dreams I am a Doctor with great surgical knowledge, I am learned and smart, and never wrong but not all knowing either. I listen hard and deal with problems always listening to others. I know what ailments they have and I am there to help. In my dreamers I am a healer.
But. But in my nightmares...I am awake and I am not.

Short and sweet... I really liked these. For some reason they kinda reminded me of this story I wrote: http://www.ubersite.com/m/92502. Unfortunately, It got -2ed off the front page by 2 of my haters before anyone could really read it.
Judging by what you wrote here, I want to read some of your other posts. Which one should I start with?

This was to be taken how ever you wanted it to be taken. A meh to someone is good to someone else so that's all good. What's funny to some isn't to others. I just thought I'd chuck a few short stories out in the open. If you enjoyed it, then cool. If not then at least it didn't waste much of your time.
PFF it's not all about who looks. I know hit whoring and retarded photos are cool, but that's not what I'm about most of the time.

cut them down to 25 characters or less, maybe then somebody of importance will read them
