sammy da cat

Jeff slumped on his worn-out couch, muttering, “This shit’s gonna be good,” as he queued up another try not to laugh compilation on YouTube. His cat, Sammy, prowled nearby, her green eyes fixed on his coffee table. “Damn it, Sammy, leave that shit alone,” Jeff barked, noticing her paw swiping at a diabetic needle he hadn’t disposed of yet.

Sammy, being the chaos queen she was, paid no mind. Her paw batted the needle with precision, sending it clattering to the floor. “Fuck!” Jeff groaned, pausing his video mid-laughter. “Every fucking time, Sammy. Every. Fucking. Time.” He leaned down, trying to grab it, but Sammy, as fast as her mischievous little paws would allow, snagged it and bolted under the couch.

“Goddamn it, Sammy!

"You can't play with that shit! You want me to lose my foot or something?” Jeff dropped to his knees, flashlight in hand, aiming its beam into the abyss under the couch. Sammy’s glowing eyes stared back, and she gave a smug little chirp, her tail flicking.

“You’re such a little shit, you know that?” Jeff muttered, reaching under to grab the needle. Sammy swatted his hand in defiance and darted out, needle still firmly in her clutches.

Jeff scrambled after her, knocking over an empty soda can. “Shit! Fuck! Stop running, you furry menace!” Sammy zigzagged through the small apartment like a cat possessed, finally leaping onto the kitchen counter, proudly presenting her prize like it was some goddamn Olympic trophy.

“Fine, you win,” Jeff said, exasperated. He opened a drawer, pulled out a fresh needle, and muttered, “Good thing I’m stocked up on these fuckers.” He slumped back to the couch, letting Sammy revel in her victory.

But as he hit play on the video, he heard a clatter. Turning his head, he saw Sammy, triumphant as hell, batting another needle she’d dug out of the trash. “Jesus fuck,” Jeff groaned, throwing his head back in defeat. “You’re gonna be the death of me, Sammy.”

As the video played on, Jeff couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity. “You know what? Fuck it. At least life’s never boring with you, you little shit.” Sammy purred in agreement, flicking the needle across the floor like it was her personal hockey puck.

That time we didnt rob the bank

--- It was a cold, gray morning in Cleveland, Ohio, the kind of day that made you want to stay in bed and curse the world. But not Mr. Jeff. No, today was the day he and his two goombahs, Tony "Two-Times" and Sal "The Sniffler," were going to rob the First National Bank of Cleveland. Or at least, that was the plan. The three of them sat in a beat-up 1998 Honda Civic parked a block away from the bank. The car smelled like stale cigarettes, old coffee, and regret. Mr. Jeff, the self-proclaimed "mastermind," was in the driver’s seat, nervously tapping the steering wheel. "Alright, you f***ing idiots," Jeff said, turning to his crew. "This is it. We go in, we get the cash, and we’re out in five minutes. No f***ing around, got it?" Tony, a stocky guy with a face like a bulldog, nodded. "Yeah, yeah, I got it. But, uh, can we stop at Dunkin’ after? I didn’t eat breakfast, and I’m starving." Jeff glared at him. "Are you f***ing s...

Antipowerhouse

 Here’s a lighthearted, funny short story that treats the situation with humor and love: Jeff Korn’s girlfriend, Emily, used to be a powerhouse—cycling every morning, whipping up kale smoothies, and dragging Jeff to yoga classes despite his protests that his body "wasn't designed for downward dog." But that was before the stroke. The recovery was tough, but Emily handled it with grit. That is, until she saw a therapist who, for some inexplicable reason, told her, “You’ll probably never get back to where you were.” Emily took that as divine permission to transform into the queen of couch life. Now, her days revolve around chain-smoking Marlboro Lights, devouring bags of Cool Ranch Doritos, and binge-watching true crime documentaries while giving unsolicited commentary. “See, Jeff? If you leave me, I won’t have to kill you. The sodium will do it for me!” she'd say, between drags of her cigarette and bites of greasy takeout. The family tried to be supportive, but Em...

This is real

  Peanut Butter & Jelly at 3 AM Joey had always been a night owl, but making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at 3 AM wasn’t exactly how he pictured spending his late nights. Yet, here he was, carefully spreading peanut butter on one slice and jelly on the other while his girlfriend, Lisa, sat at the kitchen table, wrapped in a blanket like a sleepy burrito. Two years ago, Lisa had moved in after her stroke turned life upside down. She lost her job, her house, and a bit of her balance—but never her sass. Joey had stepped up, taking care of her, because, well… he was a sucker for her stubborn little face. But tonight was a milestone. Out of nowhere, Lisa had looked at him with big, pleading eyes and said, "Joey… I need a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." Joey had frozen. Not because he didn’t know how to make one, but because— why now? She’d been living with him for two years and had never once asked for PB&J. It was adorable. It was ridiculous. It was Lisa . ...
