Irony

You have wasted fifteen days of your life. He looked at the screen in disbelief. That's exactly what it took me to fix this damn machine, he guffawed.

Canine love

The dogs were close. He could hear them sniffing. They won't recognise me, he thought. I am an alien now. They have changed my body and my mind. That's when his favourite dog ran up to him and licked him like he used to do always.

Face-off

After a zillion excuses, he finally confronted the blank sheet. They stared at each other like lovers, then friends and then foes. They just stared and stared. So that the blank paper turned whiter and whiter and his face darker and darker.  

Shadow of doubt

The man was murdered by his own shadow. Everyone looked at the front page of the newspaper in disbelief. How can a shadow kill someone? Try asking that to the paranoid soul who jumped off the roof  mistaking his shadow for that of a serial killer.

Mission

As the transport capsule disappeared into the green horizon, he was reminded of his mission. He was bestowed the task of collecting the love juices of the Zoomboids for research.
