The Candy has always been my downfall. From the first time I tasted it, it had me. It can destroy judgment as fast and sure as a man.

The Boss with his promises of fun and money soon had me also.
But, it was the Candy that I wanted the most, which he was glad to provide.
Through the haze created the Candy, so simple were the foulest of ideals.

With the Candy, I could do his dirty deeds.
The Candy had captured me and destroyed my soul.
With the Candy I became reckless and carefree.

With the Candy I seemed invincible and unstoppable.
With the Candy as my guide, I had gone out into the city.
Carefree and reckless, I again went to do his deeds.

Now, with the candy in one hand and a smoking gun in the other,
I watch blood flow from me.
The Candy has made me the enemy of myself.

This weeks theme for the 100 Word Stories weekly challenge was Clowns.

Here’s my entry, I hope you enjoy it.

In the good old days, people who wanted to become clowns ran away to the circus. Or so Billy Bob thought the legend went. It was a far cry from reality, now that the city put a bounty on their heads.

The bands of clowns and their midget cars involved in drive-by pie in the face incidents were now a daily happening.
The final straw was the mayor’s wife being targeted as she walked down Main Street.

Billy Bob was more than glad to put his army training to work. The money from the bounty would come in handy,
now with jobs were far and few between. All he needed was one of those incidents to happen.

He knew as soon as he heard the car; he was in luck, who else but clowns would be driving like that.
With a quick click, the safety on his rifle was off. Billy Bob would be dining well tonight.

Clowns, damn those clowns!

Here’s this week’s entry for the 100 Word Stories podcast challenge.

This weeks theme is: Looking back on 2008

Looking back on 2008, as Old Man Time had in so many previous years,

Saw it was like a tree, seedling at first, then throughout the year, growing tall and straight.

His gaze passing over each seasons,

First, spring, white and grey turning into green and fresh, a mighty start.

Next summer, strong, sunny, warmth, reaching for the sky, at its pinnacle.

Fall, the first sign of age, but with vibrant colors, still slowly growing .

Sadly, winter, the bleak snow and cold has stopped its growth.

With a single stroke, Old Man Time swings his sickle to clear away the tree for the next.

And here’s this week’s theme: The Nutcracker

Company Holiday Parties are so much fun. As I stood, chatting, Cindy Lou entered the room. She was tall, thin, and quite beautiful. Her gown was excitingly different from the pant suits she normally wore. The front of it was low cut and showed off her ample cleavage, and her long legs seemed to go on forever under the short skirt. I hurriedly made my way through the crowd to her. Smiling, she raised her arms for a hug. I seized my chance and embraced her, pressing her breasts firmly against my chest. Just as swiftly, her knee shot up between my legs. yeooowwww.. Cindy Lou was a real Nutcracker
