Very Short Story

Jared cried on New Year’s Day. The fortune teller said this year would be his last, and it would...although it was just a lucky guess.

The Council gathered the tribe members for the vote. "We must decide now. Should we stay here or venture into the unknown of the new year?"

I wrote "I love you" a thousand times on the walls, but you were too deep in a romance novel to notice I wanted to be more than roomates.

Gerald cared for his mom's neglected plants. Grateful, a fern felt compelled to speak, "Thank you." Terrified, he got rid of the plants.

I crawled from my prison and stood in the light again. The sun on my face unfurled stories locked in my head. Scrounging for a piece of pencil, I scribbled my 140 size stories but no one seemed interested. Now they wanted something twice the size. Technology had made me obsolete.

I bought a jaguar today. Not a car, an ACTUAL jaguar. I figure it will impress women more than a car. I got a two seat saddle for it.

I accepted Zeus's offer, trading you for the chance to become a god, but realized my mistake when I discovered gods get lonely too.

The words were spoken and I awoke. My mind slid into place. Pulling a pencil from the quiver I touched it to paper...testing my superpower.

I grabbed as much of the new year as I could and stuffed it into my desk. Time would be short come December and I'd need all I could get.

### Tell me, I want to know. What do you want for yourself in the new year? ###

Batman and Robin burst in seconds after Joker left. Batman grabbed Robin's BatTweet and smashed it. "Stop tweeting everything were doing!"

As the cold rolled in, I bought some tape, using it to assemble my maxed out credit cards into a shelter for the financial winter.

After a few days, I got used to being a bird. No more job. No more putting up with people's crap. Now, they had to put up with mine.

I woke up to a quiet house and found a domino on the other side the bed, the one-blank. Marla was giving notice, I was on my own now.

The therapy seemed to be working until I realized I was the patient, not the doctor. It got worse when I figured out I was just the chair.
