Spotted Sun Geckos:

Once, there was a spotted sun gecko. He found a perfect spot to hide out. This spot was just perfect. On a black shingled tile. Right in the sun. He lay there like a little blob of joy, melting deeply into the shingled tile with the delightful suns rays. How delightful, spotted sun gecko thought. Is this paradise? He continued to think. Still, one thing was missing in his life. After a couple of hours, the suns rays began to recede and pass over the black shingled tile where he lay. Grimacing, frustrated, for spotted sun gecko could get mighty grumpy when he was in the shade, he quickly galloped across the shingled black tile and onto the next shingled black tile. Ahh! There! He exhaled heavily. The suns beams again illuminated his spotted gecko's body. After a moment, he relaxed. The shade had left him mighty chilly! Now, in the sun again, he thought, is this. . . Is this paradise? Moments passed, only moments this time and again he began to feel the frigid shade creeping, creeping across this spotted sun geckos body. Frustrated, he exhaled a harrumph and scurried onto the next shingled black tile and into the sun again. He had only just relaxed when again vapid shade crept across his lil reptiles body. Shaking his head with sheer determination, spotted sun gecko scurried across the black shingled tile a good distance away. It exhausted him. Sun geckos, you see, are naturally very lazy geckos! But when he stopped scurrying his little sun gecko legs, he was shocked at what he saw right before him. He saw another sun gecko! He had never seen a sun gecko so beautiful. My twin! He thought. My bone! My flesh! She smiled and beckoned to him. He followed her. They stopped in a big open yard, surrounded by fauna and other creatures. A place where the sun never seemed to set! Is this paradise? He asked her. 

Yes, she replied.

Family Division:

Once upon a time, there was a family. This family was an ordinary family. A mother, a father and a couple of children. They were ordinary. That was until the birth of their third child, a son. The parents were not expecting to have another child so soon. And since they could not really afford this child, an extra mouth to feed, they resented him. They would constantly mistreat him and neglect him. And the family’s other two children imitated their parent’s hostility towards this child. The family watched with resentment as the young child grew, seemingly unaffected by this constant rejection and mistreatment. The child would simply glance over every instance of abuse that they would force in his direction. Instead, he seemed far more fascinated with the toys of his brother and sister. His parents never bought him toys. But every opportunity he had he would seek something productive to do. This child seemed to be growing, maturing much faster than any other normal child. He was walking ...

As the Racehorses Stampede

The fields were massive! Prairies of heavenly origin, spreading out from one direction to the other endlessly. The sky was illuminated by the walls of the glowing sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes, which were high up, high up in the sky. They lit up the known world just like a giant, giant star. Over the fields, breeze danced and played of heads of wheat and barley. These fields of golden grain danced and swayed to the rhythm of the gentles zephyrs, which played over them. Every so often, every so often, a massive procession of racehorses would stampede across the fields of the right ventricle. A stampede. Truly. Their hooves would shake the very ground of the world in which they lived. Nobody knew what caused the stampedes of racehorses. And surely, as soon as they had appeared, they would disappear again. Off and into the horizon of the purkinje fibres. Below the nodes' glow. Never, not even once had the locals had a chance to stop and question these interesting and curious c...

Stargull the Interstellar Seagull

Behold! This is the tale of Stargull, the interstellar seagull. A seagull with no hesitation. A seagull with no frustration. How could a seagull possibly be interstellar? Humanity has not even developed that sort of technology yet! Well, boys and girls, I tell you that you can surely believe me. I am a eyewitness. I'll tell you, years ago, Stargull took me on a trip. It's what I shall recount today. You see, Stargull was an ordinary seagull, cawing and flying about, looking for food near the beach. One day, he looked up in the sky and something like a piece of bread appeared, hanging there, suspended in the air, as if by God Himself. And so, hungry as he was, Stargull flew straight at it. He flew and he flew until he had no more to flew. Not even paying attention to the thinning air around him or the darkening air around him, he flew and he flew until he had no more to flew. Seemed as much as he flew, he never neared the piece of bread in the sky. But he was hungry! And so, he ...
