I'm bored. I wonder what kind of stuff my mind can make up?
------------------------------------------------------

Man Flees

The man ran and ran, trying to evade his persuders. Quickly he ducked in a allyway, pressing against the cold, brick wall, his breath coming out in short, strangled gasps.

"He went this way!" one man called to his partner and they ran past the allyway. Not believing his luck, the man quickly dashed in the opposite direction, staying away from crowded areas and lights. Finally, he arrived at her apartment complex. He shuffled from foot to foot as he waited for her to answer.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?!" came her annoyed and tired reply.

"It's me." he breathed.

"...What? Don? What are you doing here?" He shook his head.

"Later, later, please let me in." The doors buzzed and he made his way up. He knew he could always count on her whenever he was in a pinch.

============================================
Butterfly

The butterfly landed on her nose. She crossed her eyes to see it. It was so pretty and big!

"Achoo!" Sara sneezed. The butterfly lifted into the air and flew to a nearby flower. "No, Butterfly, don't go." She followed it and stuck her nose out for the creature to perch on but it just flew further away. "You're supposed to go on my nose, silly butterfly. Go here!" But the butterfly instead circled around her before settling on a daffodil behind her.

That was not supposed to happen. Sara reached to grab the butterfly and put it back where it belong herself when the sky thundered. The butterfly forgotten, the little girl ran over the hill to see her smoke rising from her father's farm. Another loud crack rang in her ears and to her horror, the barn exploded.

A piece of red painted wood was the last thing she saw.
