An Unintended Understanding

Fire"This traffic is the End."

"Don't be such a drama queen."

"Everything depends on this meeting."

"Dude, relax. You can't do anything about it."

"You could . . ."

"I don't work for free, man . . . Seriously? You'd pay it?"

"Yeah."

"What's the angle?"

"No angle. I NEED to make that meeting."

"Who could be scarier than me?"

"Who do you think?"

"Shit. He's taking a meeting with YOU, dude?"

The Unit Upgrade

Horse with mountains "Mr. President, we have to talk about the unit."

"What unit, Minister?"

"Remember the regiment who was forgotten in the Peltarsh Mountains?"

"Right. The unit of horse archers. Did we ever figure out what to do with all those old compound bows? I've got one in the armoury — it's quite ingenious in design, you know, thought it's primitive. Did you know it uses horn?"

"Yes, sir. We auctioned most of them off on E-Bay. The idea was to help pay for the retraining."

"Excellent. I like to see our ...

The five second rule

red buddhaIt was the best game of zenball ever, and the crowd was wild with excitement: the whisper of butterfly wings was deafening.

The problem with the apocalypse

The problem with the apocalypse was there was no single event.
