You asked for flowers and I brought flowers. You asked for dancing and I danced. I asked for your love and you gave back the flowers. #vss

Jared cried on New Year’s Day. The fortune teller said this year would be his last, and it would...although it was just a lucky guess.

Timmy used the magic set he got for Christmas to bring the family dog back to life. I had to pay the vet, again, to put him back to sleep.

Carl was good at small things like buttering toast or stacking neatly. It was big things like talking to people that gave him trouble. #vss

I shoved another cookie in your petite mouth as you struggled against the handcuffs. This time, I wouldn't be the fat bridesmaid.

To cushion the blow, I gave out a cookie when I fired someone. It made them smile...until they realized it was stale...just like them.

I'd grown up not having enough. When I started earning my own money, I stuffed part of each payout in my wall. Each night I slept with my hand against the wall, reminding myself I had enough - but I didn't feel that way - not fully understanding cash doesn't equal love.

@SBayero Thank you. Someone left the door to my crypt open and I wandered out...

I used my second wish to undo the first. Your body sprang back to life. The third wish I'm keeping, in case you got out of line again. #vss

The clock had belonged to my Grandfather, given to him by the King. Now, I was giving it to my son so he too could watch his life tick by.

My boss asked where I was. "I'm boycotting Mondays." The idea spread. People stayed home. Now we hated Tuesday.

As the newspaper lay alone in the driveway, it hatched a plan to save itself. Get an iphone and a twitter account, then they'd listen. #vss

Ella opened the lid to her lunchbox and looked inside. Same as yesterday. She moaned and snapped the lid shut. “Why does she make so much thanksgiving?” Beni said “I’ll trade you” holding out a candy bar and bag of chips. Ella took the trade knowing his mother couldn’t cook.

Tom and Sally handed the twins to her parents and left for a weekend together. It was awkward at first as they got reacquainted. But once their connection returned, they made love. Afterwards neither said the words but each thought "we could let the grandparents raise the kids".
