Insert its hypostome, and
Consume until it
Keeled over, filled with blood and fury.

A: Did you click on it?

B: No, but I gave it a cursory glance.

There was to be an execution that day.

The hooded figure tightened the noose one last time and stepped back. The crowd was as still as the marble in a crypt as he pulled the lever. The trapdoor opened and the body lurched down into the gap.

The silent crowd strained as one to grasp the final gasps of the prisoner. What they heard was a solitary voice from the edge of the square: "How's it hanging?"

There were two executions that day.

As I was waiting at the tram stop yesterday, a balloon, buffeted by the wind, found its way into the middle of the road. The light was red. I watched horrified, fascinated, but helpless in its plight.

The lights turned green. As the motors roared, it shifted about half a metre, until it was directly in line with the approaching tyre of a blue Holden sedan. Years from now, I will relive that scene, and wonder whether I could have saved a life by calling out a warning. But hindsight is always 20/20.

The whole world went into slow motion. I saw it before it happened. And, for a brief, happy moment, I thought that the car might be buoyed up and pass over, leaving the balloon unharmed. But both logic and gravity have neither hearts nor sympathy.

Like a male widow spider, it popped and perished.

#26

3. The person will reply, "That doesn't work." (Or something similar. Usually.)
4. Say, triumphantly, "That's what she said!"
