In a sad turn of events, after saving the life of Frodo by making horses in the waves of the River Bruinen next to Rivendell to take down the Ring Wraiths, Gandalf spent his retirement into the 8th Age of Middle Earth by making a modest living creating animal shapes to scare poor unwary surfers with. He finally passed a lonely, bitter old man.

Jake the Angler Fish wasn't exactly happy when he learned what his second life was going to be. For hundreds of years, he dangled his lamp, but for the odd flight-challenged pigeon, it was a useless exercise.

We never expected the end when we started irradiating plants. However, it wasn't long until we learned that they didn't like it. They didn't like it at all.

In a bit of a turn of events, Johnny simply never saw it coming. As his vision horribly blurred, his mind focused on that last drink. He should have known it was too good to be true. What lady buys a guy a Smirnoff Ice?

When the world ended, nobody could have guessed that the invaders would be so clever. I mean, who is afraid of a telephone pole?

The Stroll

Greg never understood why he took his family on these outings. He was scared to death of bridges, could never cross one without a bit of vertigo. It mattered not that the ground was only a few feet below. This was a good thing, of course, as moments later Greg had to be fished out of the swamp.

In all their years, the trees had never seen such a thing.

"Spinning stars," muttered Gordon, "It's the vidja games the kids play these days, I tell ya."

Norman nodded in agreement. "Can never understand these newfangled ways muhself."

The two old trees continued to mutter, but it should be noted that they never stopped watching either.
