When Androids Visit Omaha

Submitted by on

 
Maybe in the distant future, androids, when they gather, speak wistfully of Omaha and environs.
For all I know — for all that anyone knows —
Omaha may very well be the number one destination for time-travelers
who like to throw elaborate monkey-wrenches into other people's lives.

A Tale of Two Tampons

[A Snow-Filled Anecdote For The Christmas Season]
By Iolanthe Portmanteaux

 

"Walter? Walter? If I fit into the costume, can I come and be your helper tomorrow?"
My mouth went dry as I asked it, and my heart pounded in my chest as though it would break through my rib cage.
 
He coughed and laughed. "If you fit in the costume, and if you grow a pair of tits by morning,
then yes, you can be Santa's Helper tomorrow. Good night."

 

 
“Before I go," he said, and paused — "I may kiss her?"
— Charles Dickens. A Tale of Two Cities
