Sickly yellow clouds coated the dawn sky

Sickly yellow clouds coated the dawn sky and this combined with the sulfurous stench of the shallow pools made me want to retch. How could this be? All I did was push one little

nob. "Don't touch anything on the remote!" Dad had said. But I couldn't resist and now I'm just sitting here by this shallow pool waiting for

something bad to happen so do not touch it or else. Best not to touch it ,it is deadly

dangerous and poisonous too. Did I mention that yet? It^s heniously toxic. If you touch it you'll surely die an agonizing death in minutes. Do you want that? Don't even look at it

I understood his concern, but I also liked to give him a little poke once in a while. So naturally I put my finger in the nondescript "horrifically deadly" substance, and licked it

. "Mmm!" I smiled. "Tastes like chicken!" He stared at me, waiting for me to keel over, but of course I didn't. "Here! You try some!" I held the "poison" to his lips with my finger

cots tightly secured. He passed on the tainted meat though."Thanks. I already ate, and I have a latex allergy." Drat! I knew he'd tried to poison me, but did he know that I knew?

"What the axe forgets, the tree remembers!", he reminded me. I realised that was all too true. The axe was in the garage, unused. It would make a perfect murder weapon, she thought

-g, and he fell silently, for what seemed like forever. And that was the end of that branch of the family.
