    Once upon a time a king and queen married to satisfy a political demand to show unity between their two countries. They had a son, but since they were actually siblings, their child was born with a horrible birth defect. When the mutilated child grew up, he murdered his father, claimed the throne, and married his own mother.

    Just Before He Presses the Button

    After Dr. Roketscienski failed to collapse the universe, he turned to time travel to redeem his credibility.

    "I'll show 'em. I'll show 'em all!"

    "I'm going out. Make sure the dishes are done by the time I get back."

    He chuckled. "Who knows where-when I'll be when she gets back."

    Good point. Thanks for reading. I made a change although I like the sound of your version better.

    Coming Back

    Dr. Roketscienski pressed the time loop button on his Godel universe Einsteinian warp drive. It knocked him out.

    He saw Rome, Greece, the pyramids.

    When his wife came home, she yelled, "Wake up!"

    "Martha! I'm a genius! I did it!"

    "You didn't do the dishes."

    "Oh....You're back already, sweetie?"

    One Thing To Be Thankful For

    Sylvia Payninbut asked Martha Roketscienski about her hubby's infamous research.

    "Last year Bob tried to collapse the universe."

    Sylvia snorted.

    "Now it's time travel."

    Snort.

    "His classes suck."

    Snort.

    "He can't get grad students, but--unlike some men we know--he's too preoccupied to think of cheating on me."

    Ill-fitting Genes

    Sylvia’s husband, Hank Payinbut, came from a long line of Payinbuts. His father Solly was a gambler notorious for welshing on his bets. His grandfather Horace was a horse’s Payinbut. Little is known about Great-Grandpa Calvin, other than the fact that he wasn’t in any way great.

    "I know it's late," said the funeral director, hoping the tremor in his voice wasn't evident. "But I need the coffins by tomorrow. Thirty. Plain white. Infant size. Caskets..." he felt the color drain from his face and future, and he sighed for want of a sob-- "...will be closed."

    "You fool!" shouted Dr. Evilpants. "You'll kill us all!"
    "I won't fall for your tricks, Doctor!" replied Hiro Protagonist, pressing the button labeled, "Do not press."

    Breaking news: Hallucinating self-proclaimed "vigilante," Hiro Protagonist destroys building, killing self and 13 others.

    “Why did the school have a self destruct button?” locals ask.

    a musical image

    it is cosy when music becomes the atmosphere in a room, one inhabitant, can imagine they are touring a circuit of concerts. all lights are out but the sound, it takes over, all they have to do is close their eyes. upon opening them it quickly comes to an end, the tour, it was brief but the imagination was bountiful. could they trick it to do it again without having to close their eyes ,imagine?
    to guesses the mind is a well to do find. to practice it is a mine.

    Longer than I-95

    The only quality Andrea required in her ideal mate was a totally green lifestyle. She thought she’d found her dream man when a guy told her that he’d just bought an electric car. “It was cheap,” he explained, “but I’ll never finish paying for that gignormous extension cord.”

    Small Town Chicago

    Danny wondered why people can't be more like Chicagoans. Why make time-wasting, artsy-fartsy movies like this one he just rented?

    He checked the case. "Who liked this thing?"

    Sundance Film Festival

    "Figures."

    Toronto International Film Festival

    "Stupid Canadians."

    Telluride Film Festival

    "Where the hell is that?"

    Chicago Film Festival
