It Stings

 

MOSP 10

It stings. How about this one? It stings too. But what is happening? All the dresses sting? The whole supply is ruined. Who bought the fabric? Some obscure assistant took a step forward. Where did you buy the fabric? Where?! The assistant spun around, and laughed demonically. This is revenge, she said, I should be the head designer. Now, everyone will die. She spun around again and ran away. Everyone looked stunned. The fabric was disposed of by biohazard teams. Everyone was checked at the hospital, and no one died. The financial hit was catastrophic. And that was the revenge.

Experiment

Betelgeuse 3

Magic, he said, neon blue small creatures swimming in the garden lake.

So many, she said.

They will stay small like that.

He grinned. A lot. To breed them, he had added a few "ingredients" and look, a ton of cute little neon fish!

Vanishing Point

 

Blue Crystal

“What?!”

"Perspective. Interpretation. Meaning."

"Excuse me, Professor, but..."

"You don't see it? You draw a circle and it vanishes into an O! It's extraordinary!"

They didn't see it.

The Professor was forced to retire, but he smiled. Why hadn't he thought of it before? He could finally sail away, vanishing into the horizon.

France Portnawak

 A ship docked at the cruise terminal. The luxury included a VIP meal, a VIP ball, and a scare. The previous events had been so much fun, they heard. The meal was scrumptious and the ball was a lot of fun until the hall was invaded by armed men in balaclavas. Everyone laughed. It was the scare! So much fun! And then, the black tie event became a whole lot more expensive. When they were finally freed, millions had been transferred away, and the armed men were long gone. "Well, we sure got a lot more than we bargained for."
