The Lovers
They sat in the library ripping out pieces of paper from their note books at each other.
The sharp short tears were raw and passionate, the slow quiet tears were tender and affectionate.
Nobody else knew.

St. John Chapter 18
Two large removal vans rolled through wooded countryside. They approached a garden in which sat Jesus Christ and a number of his disciples.
Out of the van jumped Alcohol Tobacco and Firearm (ATF) agents armed with assault rifles and wearing body armour.
They advanced on the garden but disciples hidden in a wood fired on their flanks and a heavy machine gun, manned by St. Paul, opened up.
St. Peter threw a hand grenade which killed two ATF men.
In the chaos and confusion the ATF teams withdrew and the FBI were called in.
The whole thing was filmed live.
In the brief fire fight four ATF agents were killed and sixteen were wounded.
Jesus took a round in the shoulder but insisted it was just a flesh wound.

Made in Italy
There is a convent school next to Parliament Hill Fields in London; it has high white walls and hundreds of kites are marooned in its trees.
In the middle of the convent school there is a beautiful garden reserved for the nuns only. In the middle of the garden there is a shed. Inside the shed is a machine shipped over from Italy when the convert was built.
The machine hums day and night and makes faith. When you walk passed the convert school you can smell it. It smells a bit like almonds.

The Dictionary
He went around with a dictionary under his arm and whenever he wanted to say something he would find the words in his dictionary and point at them with his skinny little finger but nobody could be bothered to wait for him to find the words in his dictionary that he wanted to point at.

History
Neil Armstrong never left the moon.
He's lying in the Bay of Tranquility face down, dead of course.
His body doesn't rot much.
What happened was this: Neil Armstrong landed the Eagle as everyone was told but then on that historic moon walk things got too much for him.
Sure he said one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind but he didn't stop there. Neil Armstrong just bounced off saying as he did so how that was another giant leap for mankind and another and another.
About half a kilometre from the landing site Neil Armstrong started to say some pretty weird things about America, his wife, the UN and God. He said there was a multinational company back on Earth that was slowly making everything smaller but no one had noticed. He told everyone to go and measure their cereal packets. After that he said things nobody understood.
Eventually he ran out of oxygen. His last words were not recorded.

The Bug
Once an insect climbed onto the book I was reading. It was the size of the letter i.
I watched it cross the page and then carried on reading. I forgot about the insect. Two pages later it reappeared. I wasn't enjoying the book. I watched the insect as again it crossed the page.
I had the silly idea that perhaps it was trying to communicate with me. What if, I thought, every word it walks over is part of a message it is trying to send me?
I watched the insect's route carefully and read aloud each word that it passed over: "to, were, were, in, outside, come, indications, were, of, relative, remained, friar, intending, saw, that, off, have, arrived, I, some, the, behind, none"
Annoyed I squashed the insect with my thumb and went back to reading.

Reality
We will never see reality laid bare, even as she steps from the transcendental shower - for she is wrapped in the towel of appearance.

The Details
When asked whether there would be houses in heaven, if we would still need bathrooms and what exactly everyone would do for eternity, the priest admitted he didn't know the details.

On the planet Zim
On the planet Zim every time a crime is committed everyone is put in jail. The first person to convince everyone else he didn't commit the crime becomes the judge.
