Falling Star

5 minute story




Henry sat at the bar and scowled at the peanuts. He picked one up between thumb and forefinger, aimed and flicked it straight out of the window.
"Ow," cried a mysterious voice.
Henry raised an eyebrow in surprise, then looked to the bar door. A young woman walked in, a hand clutched to her left eye, cursing under her breath. She looked around until she spotted the toilets and rushed towards them.


Henry shook his head and placed it between his hands. He stared at the stage, where he should be performing, and sighed.
"What's the point," he muttered dejectedly.
As he continued to stare miserably at the peanuts he noticed that the girl was now at the bar. She was arguing with the barman, then turned to look at Henry. She was wearing a Henry t-shirt.

The Old Gods

They sat at the bar watching the TV in the corner.

"Tutt" said the tallest as he sat watching the news, " they just don't fear any more."

"True" said the oldest, "it's as if we lost to our adversaries."

"Maybe we just let those heroic upstarts make them think they didn't need us anymore" said the tallest.

"Yup" came the reply "if they still believed in me I would have prevented that earthquake in the blink of an eye."

"Of course, of course" muttered the tallest. 

"Mind, I'd have asked for a sacrifice for my troubles". 

Pink Lollipop Dragon

5 MinuteStory

Skree and Firey sat at the bar staring at the menu. The name on the cover was "Pink Lollipop Dragon". Skree and Firey looked at each other and raised a scaly eyebrow.
"Oh dear," they both seemed to say.

Looking down at the list confirmed their fears, 'Rainbow Scale Shooters', 'Sex on the beach with a black russian dragon'. 

The barmaid skulked over and asked lispilly, "What can I get you boys?"

Without a pause both of they responded "Fire Breath Beer."

The barmaid asked "are you two together?"

"No" they responded in unison.

The barmaid winked and a false eyelash fell in the glass she was polishing, "Right you are."
