The Mask Police
The Mask Police 02/07/2021 Michael Bonham Larson I remember my mom telling me when I got my Kindergarten report card that I had flunked skipping and galloping and that for some reason I could not tell the difference between the two. I remember practicing and playing hopscotch with my sister but could never get this down. I was a terribly un- coordinated kid and I guess it has followed me to this day. I remember in my 30’s going to a country western bar and trying to learn how to Line Dance and Two Step. I was asked to give it up. My dad used to accuse me of tripping over hairs. Need I say more?

But I NEED a New Car
16 A.D. The scene is set for our young adventurer. He has just been certified with a proper license to ride his first chariot. He’s ecstatic and can not wait to show his friends how cool he is and to gain that extra sliver of independence he so desperately yearns by owning and riding his own chariot. He pleads with his parents to trade for any chariot they could afford for the young man. They decline saying they are too poor to afford anything. The young man is heartbroken, but little does he know his older brother has yet to reveal the fact that he will be giving him his first chariot.

The Haak Society
“Does it need to be so dark in here?” “We need to be serious.” “And having dim lighting means being serious?” questioned Julie Lions. She adjusted her peach cardigan pulling the open halves taut over her large bosom. Just as she was about to address Marjory Crump, President of the Haak Society, the doorbell sounded. Dull thuds crossed above them ebbing towards the right-hand corner of the basement room.

Royal Flush
All bets in! Clifton Wilde was having a night like none that he'd ever had before and the pile of chips that lay in front of him was irrefutable proof. There was fifteen thousand dollars worth of chips in his possession and Clifton's fortune showed no indication of reversing. This latest hand added another small amount to the pile; the amounts had been getting smaller and smaller as the other players began to play more carefully, not daring to bet too much against Clifton's winning streak.

Edna, meet The Divine Den
He was the sexiest man Edna had seen in years. She instinctively pulled out her phone as he approached to walk past her, impersonating someone who regularly receives texts or calls (or any social media notifications for that matter), to remove herself from having to make eye contact with Lord of the Sexy.

A Little Help, A Lot of Love
I’m standing in the dark corridor, hesitating, swaying slightly on the spot as I think. There’s a soft, muffled bleep repeating in the distance and the hum of a floor sweeper outside. It’s 2am. The light rain tapping against the window at the end of the corridor blurs the cityscape into refracted fragments of orange, yellow, green, and red. A burst of blue signals the arrival of yet another ambulance in the docking bay below.

Shake It Off
Sometimes a man just has to have a caramel milkshake. Right now is one of those times. The café is what you might call “über chic.” With minimalist décor and wait staff more attractive than shampoo and conditioner models, I feel like the kid in corduroy when everyone else is wearing denim.
