'What do you want?' cowered Arthur.
'I have never...' the alien queen laughed, 'had a human lover!'
'Monster!' he cried, and screamed as the queen wrapped a tentacle around him...
Arthur woke from the #dream rather confused, in a cupboard, embracing the vacuum cleaner.

Thanks DeRicki! 🎵🎶🎵 at least it's not a banjo, right? 🪕😄

'Daddy! I think there's a monster in the attic.'
'There is darling.'
'There is?!'
'Yes, loud thing isn't it?'
'I'll say! #Noise all day! What IS it doing?'
'Learning the saxophone.'
'Well I hate it.'
'Everyone does darling, but don't tell it, or it'll eat your face off.'

A new form of #life evolved in Roy's fridge from an artisanal cheese he bought in '96. The cheeseling incorporated bacon, butter and broccoli into its body and leapt out one day. 'You look delicious!' said Roy. 'So do you!' said the cheeseling, showing its eggshell teeth.

Some days after his #death, Steve returned from the grave, muddy and bedraggled, fingernails broken, 'Susan, darling, I'm not dead!' he sobbed and fell to the floor. 'That's what you said last time!' she yelled, and knocked him out with a spade.

Full of grief, Simon found himself visiting Gillian's grave again—he threw himself to the ground and wailed, 'I'm so sorry darling!', and beat the earth with his fists.
On his way home, just before taking the second exit, Arthur briefly stared at the man on roundabout.

Roger demonstrated the magic #time traveling Tibetan singing bowl: 'So, slowly anticlockwise took us back 5 minutes—'
Lucy grabbed the bowl and span it rapidly; a dinosaur looked up at them.
'Where's the bowl gone?' she said.
'It hasn't been made yet.' said Roger.
'Ah.'

Thud, thud, thud. Crying.
'Sweetheart, what's wrong?' said Daniel.
'Daddy, this ball won't #bounce!' sobbed the girl.
'Which ball is that—' he said, but it wasn't a ball, it was his wife's head.

'This magic #luggage WILL resurrect your boy,' said the old man, 'but beware! What comes back is not... the same.'

Peter held his breath as he opened the suitcase *gasp* his beloved Toby! Alive again! True, the parrot now swore in ancient Sumerian, but Peter didn't care.

Sally scratched her ear and found sticky #gossamer threads, oh god no, she had a spider in her ear! She rummaged in her bag—she could tempt it out with a piece of cheese—
'Ms Jenkins! Would you care to share what you're doing with the rest of the class?' said the teacher.

Kevin banged his head and woke up with an #insatiable appetite. He ate cheese and chips, biscuits and bread, a frozen ham and six jars of pickles. Desperate, he ate soap until he remembered the lodger! That done he sat sadly and stared at his own, delicious-looking feet.

Thanks Maria!

Arthur read the Scroll of Demonic #Desire three times as Susan giggled and turned out the bedside lamp.
💥POOF!💥 a horny demon appeared between them.
'What?! No! This isn't what we wanted!' said Arthur, 'Begone—'
'Wait, Arthur,' said Susan, 'let's not be too hasty...'

Now I'm desperately unhappy that I didn't just say, 'from the poisoning' which would have been much cleverer all round.

I love this reply! You're right of course—a bite from a radioactive spider would be as radioactive as eating a banana in reality 🍌☢️☠️

Hehe 🕷️☢️☠️

Bitten by a #radioactive spider, Toby told no one, and then feeling a great change coming over him, he took to his bed.
Two days later:
'Toby?' it was Aunt June.
'Aunt June, I feel...' he said, and then died, from the radiation poisoning.

The over-jolly tea robot irritated Robert.
'Another cup of tea, Mr Robert?' it said brightly.
'Yeah, a zillion cups.'
'Not a real number!' laughed the Robot.
'#Infinity cups.'
'Only integers!'
'-1!'
The tea robot produced its cutting blade, to take back Mr Robert's last cup.

Thanks Maria!

Marie's changeling baby had been crying non-stop for a week so she reluctantly sang the Devil's #Lullaby three times to summon Satan himself, to snatch the child away...
When the devil stopped laughing he said, 'No chance, lady! Look at that little monster!' and vanished.

Where do you live? That's an incredible cityscape.

Thanks A.M! 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟👑

After an opulent and lengthy coronation of ten whole minutes, the mosquito Queen began her magnificent reign of terror! Blood flowed and her vast army terrorised the camping grounds, until Sally, with a shoe and a scream, caused a brief #interregnum.

Never trust even a friendly dragon! 👓🔥

It does! How funny 😊
"... Later that day ..."

Hehe snap! We both have myopic dragons today! Great minds! 🔥🐲,👓

The #myopic dragon squinted, 'Come closer,' it said, 'so I can see you.'
'I've brought your glasses!' said the optician, and slid the box across the cave floor, 'I'm no fool!' he muttered.
'I can see you!' said the bespectacled dragon delightedly, and burned him alive.

Thanks Maria! 👺🥛

'The new checkout clerk is... a little #obstreperous?'
'Sally? Ah yes, she's possessed. She was on disability but with government cutbacks... she needs work.'
'Ah.'
'Your mother milks goats in hell, Karen, you faithless slime!' yelled Sally at an elderly lady buying milk.

"Wanted: Werewolves and victims"
A #chime sounded: time for the werewolves to get ready. Arthur rummaged in his bag to get his sneakers out; when he looked up he was surrounded by fur. 'Boy I love cosplay!' he said, 'You guys change fast! Where's my outfit anyway? ... Oh.'
