If only something different would happen...
"Heaven's alright, however it does get a little bit boring at occasions," complained the primary Angel to his pal, who sat beside him on a relatively damp cloud. "Not really a lot to do," replied the second, plucking at his harp rather half-heartedly. "I may never get all that smitten by harps, never did have a very musical ear, even when I was alive," he mentioned.

These angels have been just a little bit unhealthy... they scrapped through to get to heaven!

"You know," said the first Angel, " I've got an concept."
"You know," mentioned the first Angel, " I've obtained an concept." They whispered to one another for some time, and slowly an impish grin settled across their faces. "Just little wings, just one or two, right here and there," they giggled. They flew down, handed all the opposite clouds, carefully avoiding the other Angels. Handed the Golden Gate with it is long queue, and on in direction of their previous world, and just a little innocent enjoyable to cross the time away.

Out sprouted two golden feathers...

"You are growing wings Bill," she gasped in horror and disbelief.
That night Bill tossed and turned. He simply couldn't get comfortable, his constant fidgeting retaining Sally awake, till in desperation she finally bought away from bed, and ready a tray of tea. Placing the tray between them she proceeded to pour out the new liquid. Bill sat up able to drink the brew, and as he sipped he instructed Sally that he might feel one thing sticking into his again. So to maintain the peace and put her husband's thoughts at rest, she pulled up his pyjama prime to see if there was anything there.
The tea tray leaped a foot into the air, as Sally set free a yell. On both sides of his back had been two giant bumps, and from them sprouted tiny golden feathers. "You're growing wings Bill," she gasped in horror and disbelief.
Are you aware she only ties her buying trolley to her two little mites...
Bill was solely the first of many. At the beginning it was mostly youngsters that sported wings. They found it great enjoyable displaying them off to anybody who cared to see them, nevertheless it became less of a joke when infants have been seen gliding over roof-tops with distraught mothers desperately chasing after them, the distracted dad or mum watching her offspring crusing high above the bottom, whereas she had her ft planted firmly on the pavement.
"What do you think of that Mrs Sparrow down the street," stated Mrs Turner to her subsequent- door neighbour in the future. "Are you aware, she only ties her shopping trolley to her two little mites, and makes them fly the week-end groceries home whereas she walks behind, with never a factor to hold." "She's a improper-un alright," replied the neighbour, "you may see why there isn't any suggestion of wings on her again."
It was becoming a matter of delight now to grow wings, indeed some folks had even gone to the length of strapping a pair of brassiere's filled with previous socks to their backs, simply to appear to be nearly as good as their neighbours.
Solely those people, who have been obviously unhealthy, had not sprouted wings.
As time went on, it grew to become a standard sight to see people flying over rooftops on their method to work, or the shops. Even the milkman delivered the gold-tops by air, leaving his milk float parked several streets away. He flipped over garden walls and fences, gaily distributing milk, cream and eggs, his toes by no means touching the bottom. By excessive summer season, most of the population have been flying to their destinations, rather than utilizing public transport. Solely these folks, who have been obviously unhealthy, had not sprouted wings.
The lights burned late within the House of Commons. The controversy over the phenomena was limitless, and to make issues worse, not one politician had the faintest sign of a wing. The member for Piddletown had demanded of the minister for well being, that ore funds be allocated to the ambulance service, for the additional workload that the sky-crashes had put upon them. The inexperienced flyers were everlastingly bashing into one another, touchdown a tangle of twisted arms, wings and feathers.
the House of Commons was not a happy place...
The transport unions were turning nasty, for employees have been being laid off in nice numbers, as people used trains and buses much less and fewer. The R.S.P.B. have been up in arms. Boys could steal fowl's eggs with out having to climb the trees, and people have been touchdown in them, scaring the nesting birds out of their wits.
Farmers had been sending so many letters to their M.P's that the unfortunate members had been in peril of drowning under a sea of paper. They complained of younger folks swooping out of the sky, and scary the animals half to loss of life. Hens that stopped laying, cows that stopped milking and ewes that misplaced lambs. All in all, the House of Commons was not a cheerful place on the time.
Petrol stations closed by the hundred. Automobiles lay in garages, spiders spinning cobwebs over their windscreens, and small rodents making a home within the upholstery. Roads grew to become free of traffic, save for the occasional lorry that was nonetheless needed to transport for heavier objects.
The unemployment figures grew. First train and bus drivers have been now not wanted. Then storage mechanics, petrol-pump attendants, taxi drivers, college-crossing women, shoe repairers and automobile staff. B.P laid off a whole bunch, and had to reduce its dividend.
The stock market plunged. Any company remotely linked with the transport industry suffered. Shareholders misplaced millions, even the big financial establishments had to dip into the reserves to continue to make pension payments, and insurance coverage claims.
The novelty had quickly worn off, it was all very well to be able to fly....
The government had been at their wits end. The Chancellor of the Exchequer shot himself. Millions of pounds have been being paid out on the dole, however tax revenues and duties fell and fell, leaving an enormous deficit within the finances that merely couldn't be filled.
Each day the list of company failures grew. The Nissan and Ford factories closed, British Airways had planes standing empty on runways. Only a few trains ran on the nations network, although that was not very totally different from regular. Sailors on the channel ferries stood idle, watching lines of would-be passengers flying, like migratory birds high in the sky above them.
The novelty had soon worn off. It was all very properly to be able to fly, however that was small recompense for lack of a job and cash. The mood of the individuals changed, and little by little, they turned ugly. The Society of Hire Industrial Relations and Data, (SHIRK) staged a marathon fly to Westminster. People flew from everywhere in the country to protest at the unemployment. The Civil Service union referred to as out its members as a protest at the authorities's lack of initiative.
An egg sailed from the far reaches of the gang...
An emergency assembly at Downing Road, held as police hovered exterior upstairs windows, in opposition to flying pickets, failed to supply any passable plan of motion. The B.B.C broadcast speeches by minister after minister, reassuring the populace that every thing would return to regular, and that even when wings on individuals did change into the norm, it will not affect national security. Concern of invasion by overseas powers had taken hold of the lots, for a way might this small island defend itself from hoards of flying troopers? Bill and Sally hovered a couple of feet from Sir Edmond Plonkit, their native M.P.
They famous that he stood very firmly on the steps of the town corridor, not a whisper of a bulge on his again. Holding up his arms, he known as for silence, and after the jeering had died down, he could ultimately make himself heard. "My mates, I know that this has been one thing of a traumatic experience, but you must realise that in the long run it can only imply a extra prosperous society for us all. A society that may adjust to the brand new circumstances, and one where all can obtain their most sought-after their aspirations. We should use this newfound freedom of movement for the great of all. To assist each other in whatever walk of life that we may discover ourselves.
An egg sailed slowly from the far reaches of the gently flapping crowd, to land with a thickening plop on the M.P's toes. A discontented murmur rose from within the crowd, and a voice to 1 aspect of Sally shouted, "what about my Bert's job, what are we presupposed to reside on?"
This plea seemed to stir the gang. "Who threw the egg?" demanded a disembodied voice,
The P.A. system gave a tinny shriek, before the M.P's voice could as soon as once more be heard. "Fellow countrymen, for the nice of England, please be patient. This present, for that is what it is, will assist us to once again make this nation of ours nice, if only we will pull collectively".
Around the country related speeches have been being made by M.P's to their constituents. It appeared to fireside the creativeness and restore semblance of stability to the folks of Britain. If it was for the good of the nation, and even the Prime Minister stated that it was, then absolutely it must be for the perfect.
This plea appeared to stir the gang. "Who threw the egg?" demanded a disembodied voice, from somewhere close to the again of the undulating mass. "Yes, what the person said is true", cried another. "It was that Mrs Sparrow", shouted a girl who was not holding a child as tightly as she ought to have been. The child, taking a fright at its mom's outburst, shot straight up within the air, landing on prime of the town hall clock. A pair of pigeons, who as much as that time had not been very fascinated within the proceedings, gave up their perch, bombing the M.P as they made a hasty retreat.
All of the pent-up rage of the gang was unleashed on the unlucky Mrs Sparrow. In her wild efforts to flee their fury, she half flew, half fell onto the city corridor steps close to the place the M.P was standing. One in all her wings turned entangled together with his umbrella, and in her efforts to disengage herself; her foot came into violent contact with the pot -puree of broken egg and pigeon droppings. She slithered and slid, her wing pulling the umbrella away. It was maybe a bit of perverse that the podgy M.P had his not inconsiderable weight balanced on it on the time. Crash, thump went the pair, as their bodies sprawled together in town corridor steps. Meanwhile, the infant from its vantage level on the clock chuckled gleefully on the scene below. The pigeons, finding their perch invaded by the baby, made off into pastures new, leaving a pair extra messages to land with most impact on the flapping crowd under.
Mrs Sparrow and Sir Edmond landed in a tangled heap, slightly below the place Invoice and Sally hovered. They knew that to depart Mrs Sparrow to the tender mercies of the group could only result in her further punishment. Bill took one arm and Sally the other, and with an excessive amount of flapping and straining, eventually managed to slowly fly her up and away from the mass of those who flapped around the prostrate M.P. Only the puzzled eyes of the infant, still astride the town hall clock, followed them as they made their solution to the relative safety of Sally's kitchen.
Mrs Sparrow simply sat, her eyes staring into the teacup as its contents cooled, the fat from the milk congealing right into a greasy pattern on the floor. Invoice broke the silence by remarking that his wings did not feel quite right. Sally regarded over to the place he sat, noticing that a few feathers had dropped onto the kitchen tiles.
"Oh no Bill, do not say you are going to malt now. Do not I have enough to do, with out making an attempt to eliminate feathers from all around the house as nicely?" Mrs Sparrow's broken wing seems to sag, and with a delicate 'plop', dropped onto the floor. "Good heavens", cried Sally, "Did not that harm?" Mrs Sparrow stared down at the fallen appendage, "I hardly felt it go", she stated.
All over the nation, feathers began to fall like autumn leaves from individuals's wings. Ladies in mid-flight found themselves unable to remain within the sky, having to land wherever they could. It was not unusual to see a hapless housewife stranded in the topmost of a tree, feathers streaming from balding wings in a gradual stream.
Within days not a feather was left attached to a wing anywhere. Then the wing themselves started falling off. Individuals awoke to discover a crumpled wing lying in the sheets, it's companion, like a baby's loose tooth, wobbling steadily backward and forward.
The clothes business went into over-drive all the jackets and coats that had been cut to permit for the wings, had to get replaced. Then the bus and train drivers were recalled, the car factories re-began, and life because it had been, started again.
Just a few weeks later, Bill turned over in mattress to Sally, his arm encircling her waist. He mentioned very softly, virtually apologising, "you already know darling, I think I can really feel two little bumps on my brow". Sally sat straight up within the mattress and seemed down at her husband. "Oh no you don't" she screamed, leaping from the bed and bolting downstairs, "wings I can dwell with however horns are going just a little too far".
They found themselves plucked away!
The 2 Angels hastily departed the world of the residing. Of their wildest imaginings they might not have realised the chaos their little diversion would trigger. Slowly, and by a very roundabout route the tried returning to heaven, but before they might attain it they discovered themselves plucked away, and in spite of all their cries and struggles, they were pulled down.
They handed the Golden Gate, with the strains of the newly-useless ready to be checked off, solely the slight elevating of the gaffers eyebrow, let them know that he had seen their demise.
Down, down they tumbled, every second it grew hotter. Their wings began to soften as though they had been product of wax. Their cries of remorse drowned out by great gusts of inane laughter, as they have been drawn ever deeper into the waiting arms of Lucifer.

At a current holiday invite I used to be invited too there was another guitarist man there. He began enjoying the guy's guitar that invited us to his residence upon planet earth. Ultimately he acquired done & I began playing.
I had met him once before a couple years in the past on the same good friend's vacation invite. In between times that good friend performed him a track I wrote & recorded in the early eighty's. The man said it was one of many best songs he ever heard.
So I am taking part in some songs, other people's, mine, new songs I wrote, & he is talking to me about music in between. I say to him that if it had been up to me I might be residing on this land 500 to a thousand years ago & all I would do is collect with the Tribe for some drumming & chanting beneath the moon & stars & that I significantly doubt that I might have missed all the trendy day world in any respect.
He says to me, You actually disturb me, but that's what I like about you.

Really, what you might be saying does not disturb me in any respect! I know EXACTLY where you might be coming from. The ownership of 'stuff' is a responsibility and a tie. If we had been snails, the larger the home on our backs - the larger the burdon.
There may be freedom in expression.. the drumming, the chanting, the campfire! There is sharing, love and honesty.
You need to come to Glastonbury (as an alternative of forests of Asia) and live amongst us... 'immaculate'! (Jim Morrison).
Are you aware much about mu mu? I'm writing a story about the fall of mumu... will probably be a part of my different writings that has been revealed right here... we come one (the long run), the pioneering king (historical previous), MuMu (how earth started) and 'God did not go to Auschwitch - it was too terrible for him to bear' (the time of change). I'll then write a factual hub explaining the context of the four short tales and what it means for the human race.
I am actually glad to have met you! x

I despatched an electronic mail to a girl I met on the Net. I included my brief story where Jesus returns to Heaven wearing a T-shirt that says, I visited planet earth, & all I acquired was crucified, & this lousy T-shirt.
Jesus says to everybody in Heaven, they're already insane on that planet, however just wait till you see the future.

Oh Sharon, I'm loving it... Are you serious about placing your tales collectively and publishing them as a real e-book? :)
Oh, btw, is it you on the pic within the middle? ;)
Chief Apathetic 6 years ago
Yep, God ushered in Creation, and right here all of us are actually. Time flies whereas your having fun.

Misha.. are you speaking in regards to the pic with the dark eyes? lol..
Publishing in a real e-book is near on inconceivable. Most publishers dont even open the envelope and all you get is rejection slips. If I could publish them for actual in a guide. that may be brill - however it isn't likely to occur, lets be real! The most effective could be in a journal for awful cash.
Now, that is my piddle collection, I'm engaged on different tales too, but need to have the ability to get them on the market for others to view. I try to write all sorts of things... add somewhat spice!
As for the demon comment.. spanking you harder!
