Writing Prompt

I sunk into the well worn wood of the tavern’s booth, setting my axe down beside me as I took a moments rest. I preferred this seat cause it was off to the side away from the daredevils looking for some muscle to add to their party. That, and it was right next to the cork board the tavern keep put up. Usually it just housed ads, but a lot of the time a fella from town would come in and post a flie...

“Thank you so much for coming!” The mother greeted the exterminator as he walked in.

“We have this really weird bug in our house, and we don’t know what it is,” the dad told the exterminator.

“Alright, where is it?” The exterminator asked.

The mom pointed upstairs toward her daughters room, in which the daughter was oblivious to the whole situation

The exterminator nodded before s...

On my late afternoon stroll outside near the lake my attention was quickly stolen by a foreign creature. The sun was bright but exiting the horizon and the wind was blowing just soft enough for it to breeze through my hair and stroke my face. It’s the middle of spring so the flowers are in their full bloom. Bright colors surrounding me from every angle. Now this creature was sitting near the side ...

"Were you the one that called?" The man, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and aviator glasses stood on Ms. Dalloway's porch. He would have looked exactly like Dale Gribble in the animated show King of the Hill, except Dale was rail-thin, and this man looked as if...well, let's just say he wasn't thin at all.

"Yes, thank you for coming so quickly," Ms. Dalloway said as she ushered him inside the hou...

It was a fine day in the suburbs of Chicago, chilly-yes, but nonetheless there was a twinkle in the frost that coated each perfectly landscaped yard.

The metallic blue van which read “V3RMiN KiLL@“ on the side mosied its way down each street until it found the one house with the forest green shutters nestled in the lone cul-de-sac.

The call came in around 9:30 in the morning and Vee, the company...

Toca o telefone

O exterminador aos seus serviços está

Sim, é comigo mesmo

Já estou indo pra lá

Vou para a casa da bruxa

Nunca vi coisa mais estranha

Cogumelos dourados

E uma borboleta mutante

With blood they’re never wasteful

They relish in your agony

Those silent ...
