Addendum

Do you think Atlantis sunk itself to prevent a Santa visit? What a naughty country that was.

Ancient Mysteries

Do you think the aliens built the pyramids like that to stop Santa from landing on the roof? Probably he's the enemy of all aliens. They're against gifts is the main reason. They slow down technological progress.

I Don't Think Parodies of Specific Books Within Series Are Hot Right Now

But if they were, what do you think? The Fryers of Heaven, The Fryers of Leaven, The Friars of Heaven, or The Friars of Kevin? The third sounds like it might be a real book, but the people who know will know. The fourth should probably be part of a series itself.

The Difficulty of Circumstances

"You have nothing to live for, you say? Well then. Try this. There is a barrel in the town of Tenba which has this property. Reach in it, once only, and you can pull out any object you want. That's right, it grants your wish, if you wish for something tangible."
Believing in those words, for he could believe in nothing else, the despondent swordsman traveled across the lands, and though he did not remember a deed he did, the people were everywhere grateful for his intervention.
He reached Tenba and found the barrel. Every man in the town knew the legend and knew it to be true, and directed him straight to it. "But you will not put your hand in," they told him.
He learned the reason when he saw the guardian. Before the barrel, radiant and unquestionable no common item, stood on its hind legs a bear wearing big, bulky red gloves. It stared into nothing until he approached, whereupon it gave him its attention and raised its gloves. Unsure, he took a step back, and the guardian bear resumed its idle attitude.
"The story is this." It was the white-haired man who told him of the barrel to begin who said that, and how he arrived there in time for an explanation would have bewildered someone not already confused by the bear. "A god placed that barrel there and set over it the guardian, saying this: 'Fulfill your desires if you can, but remember that whatever happens, good or bad, there is something behind it, and your desires can change easily enough.' Now you may kill yourself with the guardian as your excuse. I think first you should consider my advice from back then."
With that, the man disappeared, and the swordsman reflected.

Addendum

Oh boy, when I'm eating my cereal in a bowl of milk, there's nothing I like more than a glass of milk, buttered toast, more toast, an apple, a banana, a bunch of grapes, a grapefruit, and a glass of orange juice. It's a symphony of flavor.

The Reason to Have Spaceships in Your Story

So you can sell lunchboxes shaped like your spaceships. Do people still buy lunchboxes? Did they ever? Was this whole thing fake like the "balanced breakfast" in cereal commercials?

The Problem Facing Books Today

They don't have theme songs. They definitely need them.

The Agonizing Debt of Sin

The prophet proclaimed, "The gods are angry with us!"
The skeptic confronted him. "What makes you say so this time? Not enough rain? Too much rain? Or is it OW! What was that?"
"Behold and marvel! The gods have descended to slap everyone individually! It is a sublime honor, but OUCH!"
After that, the skeptic became a prophet himself, as did every person in the entire world. That time is today known as The Year of Prophets, and never will there be such a year again, though we beg every day for the gods to stop being so coy about what we should and should not do.
