“Young Cow Love” by Charlie Murphy

I placed the turkey on the table then grabbed two plates. I set them side by side when the doorbell rang. ”Damn!” I muttered. Good enough. I sighed then called out, “COMING!” I raced to the door and opened it.“Hey, happy Valentine’s Day!” Maya gave me a huge teddy bear.“Woah! I haven't been that good of a boyfriend, have I?” I said and kissed her.”No, but it's good enough." She kissed me back. I grabbed her hand and led her into the dining room. She gasped. “You did this?"“Yep, I slaved hours i...

“The Crystal” by Charlie Murphy

"Present time!” Grandma announced.“Yay!” I said and sat down on the floor.“Here you go, Megan,” Grandma said, grabbed a big present off the floor, and handed me it. “I thought you might need this.”“Thank you,” I said and tore the wrapping paper off frantically. “It’s a blender.”“I figure you needed a new one after that squirrel ran in and knocked the old one off, shattering it.”“Well, thank you… you gave new meaning to the season of giving.”“This one is for you.”“Thank you.” Keith...

“Why did you have to go and piss off Kate’s dad?” I asked.“I was hungry!” Nate replied.“So, you ate his cheesecake and called him a fat cheapskate?”“Hey, it's not my fault he buys from Walmart.”“Yeah, but you didn't have to insult him!”“It was worth it.”“You're such a jerk!

RRRRIIINNNNGGG!

“The Chosen One's Mission” by Charlie Murphy

You wake up and stretch your arms. Yawning, you look at your clock. 10:29, Saturday, your day off! You take the covers off, get up, and walk out in the hall. You look at the thermostat and turn it down. You continue walking in the living room. You are about to go to the kitchen when something catches your eye. You look under the door. “What the—” you say and pull the blind open. You look outsid...

“A Morning Adventure” by Charlie Murphy

I woke up to the sunshine and yawned. I sat up, stretching my arms and glanced at my clock. It was 9:01. My stomach rumbled. Standing up, I slipped on my teddy bear slippers and dragged myself out of my room. I went in the kitchen and made myself a bowl of Lucky Charms. I then went out back and started eating. “Hey, how’s it goin’?” “Hi, Natalie, I just got up,” I replied and spooned some cereal in my mouth. She leaned on the fence. “I know, I can tell; you’re still in your pajamas.” “Oh, yeah.”

“Tobb's Mission” by Charlie Murphy

“I can't believe this!” Derrek said. “I can't believe I have to write an essay on forest fires in three days!”  He walked across Mr. Wooten’s lawn while his Converse crunched the brown leaves. “Hey, you miserable cockroach. Get off my grass!!” “OK, sorry, Mr. Wooten.” “If you were really sorry, you’d stay off!” “OK, I will. Go back in your house now.” With a grunt, he complied. “Jerk,” he uttered as he walked in his driveway. As he trudged up to his house, a cold gust of air blew o...

“Cownapped!” by Charlie Murphy

“OK, I'm off to work,” I said, holding the doorknob.“Bye Mommy. Have a great and super day!” Norman said, turning his blonde-mopped head from his coloring book.“Thank you. And as always, behave for Mr. Lemon.”“I will, Mommy!”I took one last look at him then left, closing the door. I walked to my car when I spotted something gold. I walked straight ahead in the street and stopped. “MOO!” uttered the gold cow who was the size of a house cat.“What the... A gold cow?” As soon as I said it, it disappeared. I ...

“Preppy Tonk and Jon” by Charlie Murphy

Preppy Tonk looked at her rival with an evil twinkle in her eye. “What?” “Nothing.” “I see that evil twinkle in your eye again.” “No. It must be the burning hot sun reflecting off your chromed head.” “Nuh-uh.” “Yeah- huh,” Preppy Tonk shot back. “Whatever, lets continue. “King to knight rook.” The purple slug looked down at the holographic chess board. “Poopy-doodles, you win again!” “Yaysies-daisies!” ”If this was Earth Chess, I’d kick your butt!” Jon exclaime...

“A Very Merry Cretaceous Christmas” by Charlie Murphy

I walked across the snow as I dragged the pine tree behind. The freezing wind blew my green scarf over my face.  Thick snowflakes fell from the gray sky as I made my way to the cabin. Freezing wind blew on my face, making the tip of my nose numb. Almost there! Then I can have a nice warm cup of cocoa. I looked behind at the tree. Yep, you’ve outdone yourself this time! As I stepped up to the porch, I heard barking coming from within the cabin. I opened the door, a...
