I love writing, and I've been eying this board for a good while now. So, I figured, I might as well throw in one of my short works. I have lots of poems and short stories. This is one of my semi-favorites.
Where in the World is My Ceiling?
As I lay in bed last night, staring at the stars, I suddenly found myself wondering. "Where's my ceiling?"
I blinked a few times, hoping that one of my blinks would bring back my missing white speckled ceiling. Turning to one side, I found that I had misplaced my walls, as well.
"Well, drat," said I. "I have got to remember where I put things."
I rose from my bed and walked to my closet. It was cluttered with old shoes, clothes I never wore, and a pair of women's stockings - I hadn't the slightest idea where those had come from.
I ruffled through the debris until I found a small little package stored in the back corner. Dragging out the box, I pried open the purple-shaped flaps and reached into the mysterious container. I grabbed at the first thing that touched my fingers. Tugging hard, I pulled up a long, fat telephone pole.
"Huh," I said. "Not what I wanted." I tossed the pole aside. It thumped against the ground a few yards away.
Again I dove into the box. I saw bright lights and a short little munchkin. I poked the dwarf-like thing and he giggled like the Dough Boy. Then he poofed away and left behind a large loaf of bread. I smiled and took the bread and bit into it. It tasted so triangular that I couldn't eat it.
I left it alone then and continued my search for my room. I saw a small sparkle in the farthest corner of the box. I stretched my arm - nearly a mile in length - to the twinkle-thing and grabbed it fiercely. With a heaving yang, I tore the thing back, up, and out of the box.
"Aha!" I blurted. I stared at the glossy wooden walls that belonged to me. I dragged the four and a quarter walls into place and set them into the grooves where they used to be. I grinned at the construction and folded my arms in fourths.
"Now to find my ceiling."
Then I realized something. The speckled dots upon my ceiling were the stars at which I had been staring. "Well darn," said I. "I wasted my time."
I laid back down and fell asleep and woke the next morning in the middle of the ocean. But that's a tale for another time.
