Call it Murphy's Law

 Tom sat there listening to his friends chatting around the table. They'd meet up once a month at a new restaurant for a night of good food, good wine, and good conversation. This month they decided to try a truly new place. The restaurant had only been open a week, but they were very excited and couldn't wait to try the place. 


Beads of sweat started to form along Tom's forehead. His stomach was in knots. He could feel the pressure building and knew he had to get to the bathroom fast. He got up from the table and headed right to the bathroom. He pushed the door open so hard it bounced off the wall almost hitting himself in face. 


The loud bang startled the men already in the bathroom as they all turned their heads to see what happen. Fuck, Tom thought to himself as he realized the one stall they had was already taken. This wasn't good. The sweat started to drip down his face. Oh god he thought, I can't be that guy who shits his pants!


Tom started to pace a bit as he waited for the stall. The cramps were really bad at this point. The collar of his shirt was soaked. He could feel the gas bubbling up and out. He wasn't going to make it. He was going to have an accident right there in the middle of the men's bathroom. 


Just as he started to look for an escape from embarrassment, the toilet flushed and a gentleman exited. Tom rushed in, sat down and let it all go. A waive of relief washed over him. He reached out his hand to grab the toilet paper, but to his horror he pulled out an empty tube.

I wanted my three more hours before having to get up for work. I was just about to pull the covers back over my head when my phone rang. I rolled me eyes and begrudgingly answered the phone.  All I could muster was a grunt. The voice on the other end laughed. "Well good morning to you too" he said with all the chipperness of Disney World. "You're way to fucking happy for this time of day" I blurted out. "Can't we rethink this plan? I mean, there has to be some other way to do this." I thought reasoning with my insane morning company would help me. Turns out that only motivated the fucker.  "Too late" he said "I'm already outside, we're doing this!" I got out of bed and dragged myself to the window, sure enough there he was waving at me like a child watchin...

The Box that Changed Her Life

  The bell rang jolting Nikki out of her sleep. This was the best sound Nikki had heard all day. The bell that couldn't come soon enough. This was the best bell, this was the bell to her freedom! Nikki grabber her bag, flipped up her hoodie and headed to the door. She just wanted to slip into the hall and out the door. The ultimate escape from the hell that is high school.  She was just about out the door when she heard it. "Hey Nikki, can I talk to you for a moment."  She stopped in her tracks, rolled her eyes and headed back into the classroom.  "What's going on Mr. Larson?"  Nikki looked at the floor. She already know what was coming and the last thing she needed was another adult telling her how she felt and should feel.  "Nikki, please look at me, you're not in trouble. I'm just concerned about you. When the school year started you were so confident and loved to participate in class. But recently you are so withdrawn. I don't see you wi...
