Ho! Ho! Ho!

This week’s prompt: He realized the child had seen him.

        It was Jim’s first tour of duty in South Korea, and he was homesick. The Korean people, their religion and traditions were very different. But thanks to the American servicemen, they knew about Santa Claus. Jim wanted to play Santa for a family who lived in a cardboard shack. The little boy coughed and wore only rags. On Christmas Eve, Jim filled a plastic bag with toys and food. He couldn’t leave it outside where stray dogs would find it.     But as soon as he opened the door, he realized the child had seen him.

        “Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!”

Flying High!

Today’s prompt: He itched to clear the ground, to look out and see nothing . . .

        Flapping his over-sized ears, Dumbo hopped but rose only an inch off the ground.

        “Try again,” Timothy Mouse said.

        Dumbo’s ears hung low. “It’s no use.”

        “You need a jump start.”

        Dumbo climbed on the lion tamer’s chair, jumped and fell trunk first into the sawdust.

        “I have an idea.” Timothy handed his friend a feather. “It’s magic.”

        Dumbo held it in his trunk, flapped his ears, and to his surprise, lifted up off the ground. Higher and higher he flew. Then swooped and dove.  He itched to clear the ground, to look out and see nothing but clouds.

The Streak

Today’s prompt: Someone must have seen him because the police were at his door.

        “Down the hatch,” Dr. Nussbaum said before drinking the concoction. It burned his throat and his eyes lost focus. He felt a tingling in his toes that crept slowly up his legs to his torso and then to the tip of his fingers and top of his head. He gazed into the bathroom mirror and saw only his bathrobe—not his body.

        “It worked!” he shouted. “I’m invisible!”

        He peeled off his robe and ran barefoot out into the street. What should he do first? Rob a bank?

        Someone must have seen him because the police were at his door.
