The following stories are 100 words each,

Big Bird:

A birdwatcher, who lived on a large expanse of fields and marshland, was sitting behind his desk at home.

He looked out the window and, sitting on a fence-post, spied the ugliest bird he had ever seen.

Frantically, he searched everywhere for his binoculars but to no avail.

He left the house and crept up slowly on the bird, as quietly as a cat.

Within five feet of the bird, he rose slowly so as not to frighten it away; then he realized he was looking at an ugly old black boot serving as a home to field mice.

Remember Me:

They were best friends since they were youngsters. In the morning, they would greet each other by touching foreheads. They did everything together.

A day came when he and his family moved far away.

The years passed quickly, and not a day passed that he didn’t think about his friend from long ago. He was very old when he returned to the home of his youth.

He hoped his friend would still be there.

He hobbled slowly on the stone walkway. His friend approached from where they once napped.

The old elephant trotted to his friend, and they touched foreheads.

Time grows Old:

It didn’t matter anymore what time it was.

He stopped wearing a watch many years ago. In his youth, he obsessed over time; he loved the sound of a finely tuned instrument keeping time.

His fascination with time and timepieces slowly became mundane. From years of hearing seconds tick off, he had become a fine timepiece within his soul.

He slowly heard his life ticking away, and it was maddening.

He resorted to ending his life.

He sat on a lonely, secluded park bench, getting ready to pull the trigger. A jogger running by asked, “Hey buddy, got the time?”

Tell of the Blind Man:

Returning home on the ferry, a husband and wife were enjoying the holiday festivities. A blind man and his incredibly ugly dog were perched near the eatery.

They saw him and felt something was odd about the man.

The wife asked, “Are you really blind? It looks like you’re staring at us.” The blind man took off his sunglasses and revealed his opaque yellow eyes.

The wife gasped and apologized profusely. The husband put money in his cup.

Leaving the garage, the husband spied the blind man’s ugly dog in a new BMW. The blind man called out,

“Beats acting.”

Machiavelli’s Intern:

It was a conference between the sales and marketing departments. All the primary speakers kept on using the phrase “think outside the box.”

A young intern struggled with the box metaphor. He asked himself, “What’s outside the box?”

The dialogue heated up with ideas; all were struggling to get the best concept. The young intern remembered from a movie,

“Would you rather be feared or respected?”

The young intern felt the magnificence when an idea hits the target. He was aggressive by nature so fear was his instant choice.

“What’s outside the box?” he asked.

“Fear sells better than Sex!”

18. The Shell Game:

He was a three-card Monty specialist following a long line of tricksters and masters of deception.

By hook and crook, he managed to find himself in politics.

Using his heritage of deceit as his divining stick, he snaked his way to the presidency. He was the “true man of the people”.

He knew how to play the game better than all the politicians and carpetbaggers.

No one really knew what to make of the incredible success of his familiar platform: “bring government back to the people.”

Upon his election, his first words were “I’m glad to have your confidence.”
