The Annihilation

Sherry Walraven

Beschreibung

One rainy night, everyone in the United States and Canada heard the booms of bombs going off.
 
The next day, houses and buildings lay in ruins, leaving paths of dead people. A great number of the survivors fled to the woods.
 
The people split off and formed camps, with each camp choosing a special name. Everyone began scavenging for food and water in stores that hadn't been demolished.
 
Meanwhile, soldiers from another country were holding the President of the United States captive. The survivors knew they needed to do something to rescue the President, but the question remained, would they be able to bring him back in one piece?

Happy Days

A. Milne

Although best known for his Winnie the Pooh stories, A.A. Milne spent years as an editor at the English humor magazine Punch. These sprightly essays were chosen from the hundreds he wrote during that period. As usual, they are funny, wry, and poke fun at almost all of our human foibles. There are 6 short one act plays that he wrote to demonstrate the 6 allowable plots for amateur playwrights and they are absolutely hilarious. The other topics run the gamut from dogs to dates.

My Wrong Number

R.L. Kenderson

Texting the wrong number never felt so right.

Me: Indy. Who’s this? 
Him: Wrong number. 
Me: Oh crap. I’m sorry. 
Him: I’m not. What’s your address? 
Now, I have to decide whether I want to block him and text the guy I meant to in the first place. Or decide to do something outrageously bold and tell him to come over. 
Me: . . .
