He ate and he ate, until he could eat no more. Then he grew and he grew, until he was three storeys high. Exhausted he slept. Wrapped up tightly. Emerging as a butterfly. A ginormous, terrifying butterfly. With teeth.
She marked a line in the sand. The start. And the finish. It was a very short race. They all needed to be back for tea.
Dressed in an ornate suit of armour, the knight approached. Read from a scroll. And departed. His words echoed in the empty room. Seeped into the walls. To be released in approximately 47 years time.
A paper boat bobbed on the surface. Intricate folds forming its sails. It existed for less than a minute. Becoming sodden, and disintegrating into the ocean. All crew perished. The shipbuilders had a rethink.
He fled ever onwards. Pursued by a new fear at every turn. Hoards at his back. Perpetually on the run. Today he turned. Became the chaser. But found nothing there to chase.
The sun rose in the east, and set in the east. Reversing the way things have always been done. A different trajectory to prompt a necessary change. Shame nobody’s noticed yet.
He took the page and folded it in half. And in half again. Thoughtless scribbles forced together. Nonsense ideas pressed into one another and melded as one. To created the answer to all things.
We had to buy a nightlight. Monsters kept tripping on the stair between the bedroom and the bathroom. And they have notoriously small bladders.
An artist sat an observed their subject. Drew the fine detail and shaded in the background. Happy with their work, they threw it into the lit fireplace. Stuff that good can’t be shared.
He challenged his opponent to a joust. At noon. The time came and neither showed up. Busy as they were, reconciling their differences over a bottomless brunch.
She could see through the tunnel and out the other side. Into infinite worlds. Swirling dimensions intertwined with her current existence. She dismantled the tunnel and packed it away. All that nonsense could wait until another day.
The plants all wilted, despite the rain. Dropped leaves and vibrated in melancholic harmony. The last of the light could not revive. Before it went out. A hope lingered, unmoved by the end.
She gave a look that could dry up oceans. Make trees retreat back into the ground. Her eyes were alive. And whatever was in them wanted out.
He created a potion to ward away evil. Gulped down the whole flask. Fell to the ground and arose as a manifestation of drizzly Mondays. No longer human. Barry was crap at potions.
Choice of font was important to him. He picked a different one for each occasion. He hoped today’s would say he was sophisticated and charming. But it bad mouthed him behind the printer, called him an arrogant prick.
She liked to find shapes in the clouds. Objects, animals, faces. Whole stories played out above her. Clear skies made her anxious. She found no magic there.
You don’t see the creatures that live beneath your feet. Microscopic colonies. Busy networks. Residing on your sole. What was that tickle?
Her perfume stayed long after she was gone. Unmistakable. And unruly. Infecting those who came too close. Creeping down windpipes and pinching lungs.
A ghostly residue lingers in the air. A cold mist through which the living cannot pass. Unless they don’t mind getting cold.
A weed emerged from the middle of his living room floor. Grew up to the ceiling within a day. He left it there, it had pretty leaves. And the songs it sang were soothing.

I love how so many people actually think Cardwell cares if people like her. As if she rocked up to the game today going 'oh I'm playing this game to make the swifts fans fall in love with me' She doesn't care if you like her or not, she's there to play the game #SWIvMAV
@TweetJeffBob @RichardGage_911 Sure but steel beams are the resistance to gravity and in order to have a symmetrical free fall you have to have symmetrical failure 110 times in a row. And then repeat it two more times.
@ruonaae @ablqckdxgger And you know I can get that, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. OG Ella was talking about it the minute Mitch and Ella 2.0 came back as well as Ty. Just not as vocal as Abi I guess but only Abi is getting dragged + we were all ready for messy Mitch to go home

NAME CALLING Some names like Beauchamp, get mispronounced unless you teauchamp, thought Niamh Cholmondley, glolmondley.
“Pooh’s found the North Pole,” said Christopher Robin. “Isn’t that lovely?” “Is that it?” said Eeyore. “Yes,” said Christopher Robin. “Is that what we were looking for?” “Yes,” said Pooh. “Oh!” said Eeyore. “Well, anyhow - it didn’t rain,” he said. ~A.A.Milne #FridayFeeling
Piglet pushed the bowl of haycorns towards Tigger, and said, “Help yourself.” After a long munching noise Tigger said: “Skoos ee,” and went outside for a moment. When he came back he said firmly: “Tiggers don't like haycorns.” ~A.A.Milne #TuesdayThoughts
I was this kid in school 😂
Piglet wrote: HELP! PIGLIT (ME) And on the other side: IT’S ME PIGLIT, HELP HELP! Then he threw the bottle as far as he could throw -splash! - and he watched it floating slowly away in the distance. “So now,” he thought, “somebody else will have to do something.” A.A.Milne #flood
Pooh took down a jar of honey. It LOOKED like honey, “But you never can tell,” said Pooh, so he put his tongue in, and took a large lick. “Yes it is. Unless somebody put cheese in at the bottom for a joke. Perhaps I had better go a LITTLE further...” ~A.A.Milne #WednesdayWisdom
"My wife's a little bit tired I think." "Yes, I'm a little bit tired of you!" "When did this all start?" "The second night of our honeymoon, if you must twig."
Me cone's out, me dander's up. Leave it!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU ALL??? GIVE THESE KITTIES A HOME NOW!!!
Can you help Britain's 13 'most unwanted' cats? mol.im/a/7814677
Piglet held Eeyore's balloon very tightly against himself and ran as fast as he could so as to get to him before Pooh did; for he thought that he would like to be the first one to give a present, as if he'd thought of it without being told by anybody.~A.A.Milne #TuesdayMotivation
