Weekly Challenge #1032 – Fancy

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/02/01

LewieLisa Lizzie Richard Tom Serendipidy Norval Joe Planet Z The next topic is Vanishing point LEWIE I saw an advertisement. It was a feast fit for a ruler of house cats. There was meat, treats, and fancy cat nip. What’s fancy about it you ask? Well, there’s a normal, plain cat nip that loses its scent the moment it hits the floor. The dried out flakes have no smell at all. But the “fancy” catnip? Oh boy, I’ll tell you. The POWER… It’s out of this world! If you haven’t experienced it

Wanting kids

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/01/31

My mother has a younger sister. And she’s a thieving, conniving bitch. Robbed my grandmother blind and sent her broke ass to drain my parents dry. But I’ve always known she was garbage. You see, when I was little, her husband repeatedly tried to molest me. Nobody believed me, and I was punished for lying about it. Ah, memories. A year or two later, she divorced the creep and found a new guy. It turned out that she wanted kids, but her first husband didn’t. I beg to differ…

Chemical memory

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/01/30

If you keep a device constantly charging, or top it off every night, the battery has a chemical memory to it and will hold less of a charge. So it’s important to regularly deplete the battery, and then charge it up. Thankfully, batteries don’t remember when you swear at them when you need a device the most. If your phone has a healthy battery, the people who find your body at the bottom of the canyon can charge up to call your next of kin. Who can sell your phone for more recycling

For the glory

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/01/29

Once upon a time, our people built great space ships. The space ships, they flew so fast. Faster that light. And we flew between the stars. So many worlds out there. But never any civilizations like ours. Just plants. And some animals. Nothing intelligent, though. Just us, in all the universe. We’re the first. We grew up before anyone else. So, we spread out to every star. And we watch and wait. When a species evolves and grows, it develops tools, language, and… That’s when we

Ten bucks

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/01/28

My friend just got a 10 dollar an hour raise as a contractor. I remember when I was making less than 10 dollars an hour working in a fast food chicken shack. Heck, I was making eight bucks an hour doing tech support for a cheap webhosting company. It started as a dialup internet company, and the dialup people treated us like trash. Until webhosting took off and dialup went away. These days, anything beyond my basic expenses goes into the 401k, and anything above that goes into investments. And, no,

Every chick

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/01/27

Every chick I ever fucked became a lesbian. My first girlfriend, my second girlfriend. The chick I cheated on her with (the second girlfriend). All of them became lesbians. I keep a notebook with all of this. And every one of them… lesbians. And, no, they weren’t lesbians before I fucked them. They were all straight. But after me, not another guy. Lesbian all the way. No, I don’t know why. My doctor says I’m crazy. So, I fucked her. And she became a lesbian. Her husband

Fury

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/01/26

They say that hell half no fury like a woman scorned but now that I’m in hell, I beg to differ. I did a lot lot of scorning, believe you and me. I’ve spent lots of nights sleeping in my car or on the sofa, but they weren’t on fire or covered with sharp spikes. Very sharp spikes. Then there’s all the whipping. And not the good kind that comes from a lady in leather and stilettos. And it really, really smells bad. Did I mention the fire? Everything is on fire. I think even the fire is on fire.

Weekly Challenge #1031 PICK TWO Hush Beauty Chisel...

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/01/25

LewieLisa Lizzie Richard Tom Serendipidy Norval Joe Planet Z The next topic is Fancy LEWIE The one-eyed owl had a chiseled jaw line. His hushed beak made him the perfect interceptor. Glaring silently at any who dared approach, he rarely spoke. The moon’s beauty in the night would have its light reflected from all who approached, timid and uncertain. He would ask the question of, not who, but whom? It was rumored that only the lollipop guild was able to pass, once they answered a question

Giraffe delivery

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/01/24

I used to think that the test for being rich would be to be able to go to a website and with only a few clicks have a real live giraffe delivered to your house the next day. A real Live giraffe. But the truth is, giraffes need a safe place to wander around, food, veterinary care. You know, the same as any animal you adopt. Besides, going to a website and clicking things just to get a giraffe delivered. The next day seems rather silly, if you’re rich, that’s the kind of thing you delegate to your

Close to the water

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/01/23

Sometimes I think I should’ve gotten a house closer to the water. And then I see the Pest Control and animal trapper trucks on the street. I asked them what they’ve caught and they’ll say snakes, raccoons and sometimes a baby alligator. I’ve already seen a spider or two in the past two years and one baby snake in the garage so I do the math and try to figure out how much more of that would be showing up uninvited. Then I shru,g put on my shoes, and walk the 10 minutes it takes to get to the

Night nurse

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/01/22

You can bet on anything now. Celebrity surgeries are all the rage on the betting desks. Live, die, or complications. I look up the patient history. Then I look up the sheet on the surgeon, the nurses, and the anesthesiologist. I check the odds and this one looks good. I lock in my bet. It’s not like a surgeon is going to blow an easy layup. But a nurse? Those can be bought. And orderlies are a dime a dozen. Sure enough, there’s complications. A post-op infection. I cash it in, and split

Morning duty

2026/01/21

Usually after his morning walk, John would do his morning business in the toilet and jump in the shower. However, today he was a bit backed up. So, he went ahead with his shower anyway. Sure enough, nature called, and he was out of the shower and on the toilet. He nearly slid off. A few minutes later, he was back in the shower again. And nature called again. Back to the toilet, this time a bit more careful on the landing, and after a minute, back to the shower. He was almost done when the hot water

The meeting went long, so when the meeting was over, I hopped in my time machine to go back and catch the beginning of the other meeting that had already started.But I had forgotten to bring my laptop, so I had to stand there and watch the other me at my laptop until he got up and jumped into my time machine. Then I picked up my laptop and jumped into my time machine and went back. But the two laptops had an IP address conflict, and we were both disconnected. Shit. My other me didn’t go

Last man standing

When the smoke cleared, Billy was the last man standing. Clint was sitting in the middle of the street. Bart was laying on his back, looking up at the clouds. Bob was hopping on one foot. He insisted that it didn’t count as standing. Slim was doing some kind of weird yoga pose, holding himself up with his hands as he stuck out his legs. “Is that a Dhanurasana?” asked Billy. “That’s the rocker pose,” said Slim. “Know it’s not an Upavistha

But ever since his friends dared him to fetch a ball in old Mrs. Hendersons back yard, he’s had superpowers. The little hairs on the back of his neck would rise up with a sinking feeling of paranoia, signalling that trouble was afoot.

A bitter pill to swallow

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2026/01/17

So, I found an accounting error. Reported it to the CEO. Who did nothing about it. Then, I reported it to the SEC. The company doesn’t just fire whistleblowers, you know. They’ll lay you off for economic reasons, or they’ll downsize your job out from under you. Then, after a while, they’ll hire someone else to do that job. Blackballing you in the industry. Time for a new career. I’d saved up enough to put myself through pharmacy school. And got a job where the CEO

Bob Thomas Morton

Mom and Dad took me to the cemetery every weekend. We visited Grandma and Grampa and me there. Me, Bob Thomas Morton. Well, not really me. Mom and Dad had me late in their life, too late to meet Grandma and Grampa alive. And too late to meet my older brother. Also named Bob Thomas Morton. They don’t talk about him ever. And I’m not allowed to ask about him. There’s no photos. None of his things. Nothing. When they die, they want to be buried next to him. And me? Maybe I’ll

I can’t breathe

So, a cop took a fentanyl addict with hypertension and a heart condition to the ground and knee-pressed the guy’s neck. City coroner said heart attack. Family’s hired coroner said asphyxiation. But, hey, the science is settled, right? “I CAN’T BREATHE!” were his last words. Protests. Riots. Burning. Looting. Peaceful, right? I watched a fat black elderly protester holding up a sign that says MY LIFE MATTERS. In a dense crowd. No gloves, no mask. Hugging strangers. The

The crying of Lot Devil

2026/01/14

So, my parents finally sold their house.But they didn’t sell the wooded empty lot next door. They had bought that lot to preserve their peace and quiet. It didn’t sell along with the house, though. They gave the lot to me. And I need to sell it. The golf course it’s near doesn’t want it. They gave me an insultingly low offer. So, I told them thank you, but I’m going ahead with my plans to build a shrine to Satan. And their golfers are welcome to pray there, of

Violin

2026/01/14

I used to play the violin. But I didn’t play it well.“Maybe I need a better violin?” So, I’d buy violin after violin, until I had a Stradivarius. It didn’t have a name, though. It was a badly-damaged body that was refurbished. Still, it sounded great. But I didn’t play it well. I paid for lessons, practiced a lot, until I finally got good with it. Then, I broke my elbow and lost a lot of range of motion. The surgeries and rehab were expensive and I had to sell
