MARIAN BROOKS: This Halloween

Amusing, Submissions, , , ,

My granddaughter announced that she will be Superman’s daughter this year.

I ask what kind of costume she plans to wear.

Her dad will dress up as Superman and she’ll collect the candy!

There’s some distance between her new front teeth, so that when she smiles she’s a pumpkin.

Marian Brooks has recently retired and found some time to write short fiction.  She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband.

Editor: This true story was too cute not to share. Happy Halloween! Be safe and have fun, everyone.

L. CHRISTOPHER BIRD: Down and Out in Metropolis

Amusing, Artistic, Submissions, , ,

Life as a superhero has become difficult with the preponderance of cell-phones. Phone booths are getting so rare as to be nonexistent. One is forced to change into tights in a Port-o-Potty when one can find one. Unfortunately, clothes left in a portable toilet usually aren’t there when you return.
