Business

The room was full of powerful-looking people in expensive suits. Anyone who walked by the building would think that a very important meeting was taking place, perhaps discussing multi-national takeover deals and such things.
This couldn't be further from the truth.
The TV was concealed from the street and they all sat there awaiting the DNA test to see if some baseball cap-wearing boy was the father of the tracksuit-wearing girl's baby.

End of the Line

The train didn't usually approach the terminus with such speed. There was no screeching of brakes and the buildings flickered past much faster than usual.
The impact crumpled the front half of the locomotive as the buffers were flattened and the bricks and concrete of the platform were carved up.
Unsuspecting daytrippers fled as the train came to rest right outside the coffee shop.
The baristas inside seemed as disinterested as usual.

Spider

The upturned glass stood in the middle of the kitchen lino. The spider sat beneath it, trapped and helpless.
The woman who had put the glass there left the room, unable to look at it. Her flatmate could sort it out when she got home.
Once the coast was clear the spider lifted up the glass and crawled from underneath. It headed for the living room where it would scare the woman one more time.

Six Pack

The first beer was cracked open and he downed the lot in one go.
The second didn't last much longer.
Cans number three and four were consumed a little more leisurely, each taking ten minutes.
The fifth took fifteen minutes and the final one was drained in under a minute, having caught his second wind.
He burped and went back to the shop for more.

Damaged

The shopworkers didn't care for the company for which they worked, as the company didn't care much for them. The working conditions were poor and the wages poorer.
They found a way to pass the time and get one over on their bosses.
They walked around the warehouse kicking boxes as hard as they could and causing as much damage to stock as possible. That would show them.

Loose Nut

She rode her bike down the hill, lifting her feet from the pedals and laughing as they span wildly.
She had it all under control until she hit the pothole and the front wheel detached itself from the forks.
The wheel rolled in to the side of the road as she was thrown over the handlebars, her teeth breaking her fall.

Police Story

He was assaulted, jumped from behind and hit over the head with something heavy. The perpetrator took his wallet and his wedding ring. Not his phone though.
He rang the police. Someone would be there shortly, he was told.
Nobody came as he sat by the roadside. He waited almost an hour before he gave up and went home. At least the guy hadn't taken his keys.
The cops were doubtlessly sitting somewhere drinking coffee and eating doughnuts, the pieces of shit, he thought.
