SOCK MONKEYS A SHORT STORY
h
i. I LOVE SOCK MONKEYS. Big ones, small ones and cute ones. They all make me smile. A lot! Some people think they look like they’re sad or the mouth is the same as their butt. It is, but I LOVE THEM! I sleep with them every night. I have seven. A big one, three small ones, two medium ones and a little tiny one. 17

EXQUISITE CORPSE A Story by Everyone
T
here was a guy walking and then he fell off a cliff. He fell and fell, when all of a sudden a dodo bird grabbed him and took him to the land of rainbow goth unicorns.
As he dropped on the land, he met a not so happy rainbow goth unicorn who said moo. Then he realized he or she was very diabolical.

BORING DIARY ENTRIES
Dear Diary, Today I did nothing. (No surprise there.) I woke up (necessary), I ate breakfast (vital to survival; plain, dry toast), I went back to my bedroom and I sat on my bed until lunch. When it was time for lunch, I went downstairs, got my lunch, ate my lunch, and went back to bed until dinner. When it was time for dinner, I went downstairs, ate (again), spent “quality� time with family (pointless!), brushed teeth and went to bed. (This will be the same on weekends. - Boring Briana

I HATE PERFUME New Fragrances
Dead
Dog
Dead dog smells like dead dogs. That’s not all. It is like they were in the rain for a month. Dead Dog is a bestseller perfume around the world. It distracts everyone from your natural horrible smell. You can buy it for your grandparents! Order today.
No
Scent
The No-Scent smells like nothing. There is no way to describe it. It is so no one can smell you. It is the best thing that ever happened to you.* * side effects may include headaches, sickness, vomiting, constipation, death, and pain.

A POEM

UTAH SNOW GLOBE
I stole this from Utah when I was eight.
I
stole it, then left the state. It fell out of the car I escaped in, and I had to go back and look for it. When I found it, a bear had it. So I had to kill the bear. I walked the rest of the way. When I got back, I was attacked by assassins. I barely escaped. When I finally did, I sold the snow globe on eBay.
