The legend of Morec and Solflorantis

One of the girls noticed Morec, while she was in the plant form ready to sleep because it was night time. Her name was Solflorantis. She was sleepy and her body was attached to the ground. She was a sunflower-human hybrid. She winked at Morec before she went to a deep sleep because a green light emitted from the big old tree in the middle, spread all through the ground and made all the girls go to sleep.- @lenaspiritual

Lurking

Scarcely had they started when Peter paused as he felt a vibration beneath him. Nevertheless, he continued to tear the wood with the axe he had in his hands. Soon after, Peter suddenly jumped from his position. On Sylvester's inquiry, he explained that the spot on which he was standing seemed uneven and was lifting him up. It sounded weird to Sylvester so he went ahead to where Peter jumped from to examine. It appeared level, he stood on there, no unusual movements were sensed and he concluded that Peter must have developed abnormal fear for the forest. Mockingly he asked Peter to return to work, adding that his phobia about the forest was changing into an illusion.- @fj125

We have been working on mines for years, each century they discover new lands with potential and we are assigned to keep digging and recover any thing of value from the old world. The old world was buried and on it the Panel built a new world. A world without freedom, a world of no privacy, a world without happiness, a world where you are not allowed to talk to anybody for more than five minutes. A world where you are not allowed to marry or love.- @doziekash

They all dove into the water after the blast of the whistle from the referee. Jeff remembered the words of his coach every time he came up for air that he should focus on himself. He swung his arms, twist, flapped and pushed himself like he had never before. He was really motivated. He could hear the screams coming from the fans cheering for them. They had made a couple of turns and the all to familiar sound made him to know that they were now in the final lap. He pushed himself the more and worked on his strokes as he moved closer to the finish line. For a moment he slowed down as the memory of the incident flooded his mind but he quickly pushed it off and got to the finish line. When he came outside of the water he could hear the people shouting his name.- @daveyjones7

Family And True Happiness

Dr. Fred replies but this time he isn't smiling. There is something about the lady's tone that makes him wonder if he is really proud of himself. He has accomplished a lot in his life. At just 35 years, he has finished med school, owns a hospital and has a great fiancée. However, for some reason, he has always felt a void in his life. What could be the issue? He has enough money so it can't be a money issue. His house is already really nice so it can't be a house problem. He can afford any car he wants so it's definitely not a car thing.- @theawesononso

For Sale: Happiness

Selling happiness. A simple idea but it met with opposition. First from my parents, then society but not from investors. Investors like me see the opportunity after stripping away layers of social constructs, imaginary roadblocks and looking at human nature in its birthday suit.
I got my funding and initially my clients would come furtively as if they were doing something bad. They were rich people who wanted to "buy" happiness. I would look at their profile, their experiences and give them something to disrupt their ennui.- @diebitch
