  1. The air smelled of cooked meat. Jay cowered under the table, praying. "Is that the last of them?" "Yep," said the turkey, pulling Jay out.
  2. "Carving a good turkey takes practice." Jerry sharpened his best knife. Shackled, his youngest boy cried. "I'll behave, Daddy. I promise!"
  3. Frustrated by its inability to get Charlotte to spin one damn word of praise, the turkey ate her.
  4. Interview: a collar-and-tie job. Rush-hour TransMat: connections cross; transfers glitch. I embody my worst nightmare: arrive bikini-clad.
  5. Some mornings it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps, garroting the orderly and guard, and carjacking the nurse at penpoint.
  6. So this was what the end looked like. I leaned over the edge and peered out into the nothingness beyond. Wait a minute is that cotton candy?
  7. From behind the dark storm curtain, the cherubs gawked as Earth drowned in God's disappointment. Later, they plucked rainbows like harps.
  8. I wave a weary goodbye, drifting off to lands beyond death; and wave to my departing self, built to face all lands 'til the universe ends.

  10. As the tornado ripped through his living room, Alex lamented having never ridden in an airplane. Moments later, he took flight.
  11. [ I'll be tweeting at Philcon (the oldest Science Fiction Convention) starting tomorrow via @nelilly -- hope to see you there! ] #philcon
  12. A boy once loved a Naiad. She gave birth to a pearl the size of his heart. Men then began abusing water nymphs. Now they hide in the reeds.
  13. The cloned wheat was purple and twisted, the fish tentacled and grotesque. Lewis trembled as he approached the final door: Hominid Projects.
  14. The tooth fairy awoke in a generous mood, so that night she brought pliers.
  15. [ I'll be at Philcon this coming weekend. Here are my panels: http://nelilly.livejournal.... ]
  16. I dream of cold, chittering stars. Wild things penetrate my mind with outrageous suggestions. I wake. My hand touches my swollen stomach.
  17. Globules of bourbon wiggled in zero gravity. Captain Jo could only watch as the Senator, cackling, reefed on the emergency escape handle.
  18. Dee scoffed at Di's plan: "We'll only get stared at more." But Dee was wrong. Everyone smiles at pretty twins; the disfigured are invisible.

  20. The fabric of time ripped, disgorging on Earth a rain of rusted hulks and dead astronauts, a pelting of future black hole mission failures.
