Some One-Liners; My Heart Tonight

Deeply hurt, the bronze-skinned woman turned back again to face the desert.

Eeny meeny miny mo, catch a fairy by her bow.

As John stepped into the closet, he suddenly heard a large whooshing sound like the movement of a whip, followed by a stinging sensation and a deep and chilling voice that whispered, "Now you belong to me..."

Dreadlocks aside, the mutant baboon was rather handsome.

I stopped eating sausage after my older brothers pulled one prank on me in 5th grade that involved a ladder and some feathers.

Minamumbs and ziddlebwees, that's what little argadroms are made of.

Hey lady, you dropped your mace.

On second thought, if I had to eke out my existence in a post-zombie-apocalypse world, I actually might not want to bring you.

Hey there, are you living in hiding, or are you hiding in life?

Surely, no man had ever witnessed such a myriad of anything, be it stars or ants, leaves or sand.

Having said what few rousing words he had left in his ragged throat, General Fowler finished with one last hoarse cry, "Let us drown them in our thoughts!"

Tonight Carlos' heart beats, inexorably, marching deep and down into depths from which he has never reached out. At these times, Carlos realizes that his heart is not his own, but rather a malicious little gnome named Teddy.

"Teddy, why do you always have to go down there? Come on, I'm tired," Carlos says.

Teddy only issues forth a wicked giggle of pleasure. "Hee hee hee..."

"Come on Teddy, I- I, really don't have time for this. I have lots of stuff that I need to do before bed," Carlos says.

Teddy twiddles his gnome thumbs and smiles sinisterly. "Hee hee hee..."

"Really. Teddy, I can't just sit here and wait for you to stop playing games with me."

Teddy's eyes twinkle in the darkness as he retreats further, deeper. Soon they are the only sign of his presence. "Hee hee hee..."

"You do the same damn thing every night, right when I'm finally ready to do work. Or when I'm finally alone."

"Hee hee hee..."

"That's it, isn't it. When I'm alone. That you come out. That you scamper down there like some little creature."

"Hee hee hee..."

"Yea. That's it. Only because I'm alone. That's why."

"Hee hee hee..."

You leave me heartless. I hate you.

Hee hee hee...

If only I could reach you, down there, so far, so dark, I don't know where you are. Where could you be. Where.

Hee hee hee...
