Happiness is a butterfly,
which, when pursued, is always
just beyond our grasp,
But which, if you will sit down quietly,
May alight upon you

Our female cat has a mean streak. Her greatest passion in life is to chase butterflies, trap them in her paws and eat them. I think it makes her happy. Oh! I guess the black and white of life.

Over the last week, I've been writing black humour "short stories". I've written well over 200, so far. Well that be a lot of words TF, I hear you mutter. Nope! Wrong. For each story has probably a maximum of about 25 words. More or less. For less is more. I think. Too much ;-)

A, Excitingly edgy! Drastically different! Easy-peasy editing :) TFx
Woo. Less is definitely more. Go TF!
Do we get to read them? Please, please, please?
I love butterflies - preferably uneaten!
That's a lot of words wot you've been writing :o)
A butterfly landed on me the other day when I was lying in the sun.
200, that's brilliant.
Ah it's jealousy with the cat....I eat things that invoke envy.
Can I read story 157?
How does she do it?...Whenever I want to photograph a butterfly it is off! meowwwww
I've seen a cat eat a dragonfly before...not pretty viewing, I have to say.
And will we get to view some of your short short stories?
Can we read some of the twenty five wordys?
Lane, methinks I've a touch of the verbal runs!
Claire, Maybe! Maybe not! ;-)
Clarkey, most of them are CRAP though :)
