SUNDAY SURPRISE (109)

THE CURSE OF THE BENDY TEAPOT : A HORROR SHORT STORY BY Me.

Alicia Wilson sat in her cozy living room, the dim light casting eerie shadows on the walls. The news of the local gardener’s mysterious death had piqued her curiosity, and she found herself drawn to the legend surrounding the bendy teapot. The stories whispered through the town spoke of a cursed object that granted only 45 days of life to its user.

Though skeptical, Alicia couldn’t help but feel a tinge of unease as she gazed at the teapot resting on her coffee table. It seemed harmless, yet the tales of translucent figures and guppy-like properties haunted her thoughts.

Determined to unravel the truth, Alicia embarked on a journey to understand the origins of the bendy teapot curse. She scoured the archives of the local library, searching for any mention of its existence. Her efforts paid off when she stumbled upon an old, dusty book titled “Curses and Enchantments: Forgotten Tales of London.”

As Alicia flipped through the pages, she discovered an obscure passage recounting the legend of the bendy teapot. According to the book, the curse had been born centuries ago when a wicked sorceress had imbued a teapot with dark magic. The curse was said to be triggered by a series of strange visions that flashed before the cursed individual’s eyes.

Intrigued and slightly unnerved, Alicia’s mind began to wander. She saw fleeting images—a snooty dog balancing on a ribbed gardener, an old newspaper headline about a hit and run accident, a hooded lizard ranting about elbows, and a drinking well located in a deserted place. The visions left her perplexed, yet they fueled her determination to solve the mystery.

Alicia knew she couldn’t face the curse alone. She called upon her mother, Kimberly Jolie, a skilled and tenacious lawyer, to aid her in this supernatural investigation. Kimberly arrived promptly, her eyes gleaming with curiosity and concern.

Alicia shared her findings and presented the teapot to her mother, who examined it with caution. Despite her daughter’s warnings, Kimberly decided to submit herself willingly to the curse, driven by a mix of bravery and a desire to protect her family.

As Kimberly held the teapot, the visions flashed before her eyes, mirroring the ones Alicia had described. The snooty dog balancing on a ribbed gardener gave her an unsettling feeling, and she couldn’t shake off the chilling image from her mind.

With the curse now affecting both of them, Alicia and Kimberly realized the urgency to decipher the meaning behind the visions before their time ran out. Their quest began, starting with the search for the hooded lizard mentioned in the visions.

Armed with determination and a few cryptic clues from the visions, Alicia and Kimberly embarked on their perilous journey. They combed the streets of London, seeking out information about the hooded lizard and its significance.

Their search led them to a forgotten part of the city—an abandoned warehouse that served as a meeting place for eccentric individuals and those with a penchant for the supernatural. Rumors whispered of a secretive figure who possessed knowledge about curses and hidden realms.

Inside the dimly lit warehouse, Alicia and Kimberly found themselves face to face with a hooded figure—a mysterious and enigmatic being who called himself Rasmus. His eyes gleamed with ancient wisdom as he listened to their tale, intrigued by their bravery in the face of the bendy teapot curse.

Rasmus guided Alicia and Kimberly through a labyrinth of knowledge, unraveling the secrets hidden within the curse of the bendy teapot. He explained that the snooty dog symbolized a wealthy aristocrat named Lord Benedict Wentworth, known for his ruthless nature and penchant for exploiting others.

With Rasmus’s guidance, Alicia and Kimberly delved deeper into Lord Benedict’s history. They discovered a dark past marred by a hit-and-run accident, where he had taken a life but escaped justice. The old newspaper headline in their visions became a crucial clue, connecting Lord Benedict to the curse.

Their quest took them to the Wentworth Estate, a sprawling mansion where Lord Benedict resided. With their guppy-like feet guiding their steps, Alicia and Kimberly infiltrated the estate, determined to confront the source of the curse and put an end to its malevolent grip.

Inside the grand halls of the Wentworth Estate, Alicia and Kimberly discovered a hidden chamber beneath the mansion. There, they found an ancient well, shrouded in darkness. It was the same well from their visions—a focal point of the curse’s power.

As they approached the well, a ghostly figure emerged—a tormented spirit seeking revenge. It was the restless soul of the victim Lord Benedict had taken in the hit-and-run accident. The spirit, known as Eleanor, had become intertwined with the curse, desperate to see justice served.

Eleanor’s ethereal form hovered before Alicia and Kimberly, her eyes filled with a mix of anguish and determination. She revealed that the curse of the bendy teapot was tied to Lord Benedict’s own mortality. The teapot, infused with Eleanor’s vengeful energy, would claim the lives of those who had wronged her until justice was served.

Driven by a shared resolve, Alicia, Kimberly, and Eleanor devised a plan to break the curse once and for all. They would confront Lord Benedict with the evidence of his past crimes, forcing him to face the consequences of his actions and allowing Eleanor’s spirit to find peace.

Alicia, Kimberly, and Eleanor confronted Lord Benedict in the heart of the Wentworth Estate, armed with undeniable evidence of his hit-and-run accident. Lord Benedict, now aware of the curse and the vengeful spirit that haunted him, was filled with a mixture of fear and regret.

In a gripping courtroom-style confrontation, Alicia presented the evidence, ensuring that Lord Benedict could not escape justice this time. The truth of his past crimes became public knowledge, tarnishing his reputation and exposing his misdeeds to the world.

As the weight of his guilt settled upon him, Lord Benedict’s own mortality began to catch up with him. The curse of the bendy teapot manifested its final act, claiming his life just as he had taken another’s.

With Lord Benedict’s demise, Eleanor’s spirit finally found peace, the curse’s hold on her released. The curse itself dissipated, its power no longer fueled by vengeance. Alicia and Kimberly, having fulfilled their quest, were free from its grasp as well.

In the aftermath of their harrowing ordeal, Alicia and Kimberly realized the importance of confronting one’s past and seeking justice. The curse of the bendy teapot had served as a reminder that actions have consequences, and no one can escape their past forever.

Together, Alicia and Kimberly decided to use their newfound knowledge and experiences to help others. They established a foundation that supported victims of crime and advocated for justice, ensuring that no one’s voice would go unheard.

The legend of the bendy teapot gradually faded into obscurity, becoming nothing more than a cautionary tale whispered by those who still believed in the supernatural. Alicia and Kimberly, however, knew the truth of its existence and the power it once held.Their foundation, aptly named “Justice Reclaimed,” gained recognition and support from the community.

They dedicated themselves to providing legal assistance to those who had been wronged, ensuring that justice was served and the voices of the victims were heard.

Over the years, Alicia and Kimberly became renowned advocates, fighting tirelessly for the rights of the oppressed and the marginalized. They used their experience with the bendy teapot curse as a driving force, fueling their passion for seeking truth and bringing about positive change.Their work didn’t go unnoticed, and they received accolades and recognition for their contributions to society.

Their story became an inspiration to many, proving that even in the face of supernatural curses, justice could prevail.As for the bendy teapot itself, Alicia and Kimberly made sure it would never cause harm again. They took great care in securing the teapot, sealing it away in a hidden chamber within their foundation’s headquarters. With intricate protective spells and enchantments, they ensured that the curse would remain contained forever.But they didn’t forget the lessons they had learned.

They used the teapot as a symbol, a reminder of the consequences of one’s actions and the importance of seeking redemption. It served as a cautionary tale to those who visited the foundation, a tangible reminder that justice must be pursued and the past must be confronted.

Years passed, and Alicia and Kimberly continued their mission, leaving an indelible mark on society. Their unwavering dedication to justice and their courage in the face of darkness inspired a new generation of changemakers.The curse of the bendy teapot may have been broken, but its legacy lived on through Alicia, Kimberly, and the countless lives they touched. Their story became a testament to the power of resilience, compassion, and the pursuit of justice in a world that so desperately needed it.

HAIRSTYLE.

Posted on June 3, 2023 by aparna12

A FUNNY POEM BY ME.

In a land of hair, wild and free,
Where follicles danced in jubilee,
There lived a lass with locks so bright,
Her hairstyles were a hilarious sight!

First came the bouffant, oh so grand,
A towering mound upon her strand,
She strutted with grace, head held high,
But her hairdo reached up to the sky!

Next, she tried the mullet, oh what a thrill,
Long in the back, short in the front, quite the frill,
She rocked that party in the back,
But business up front? Oh, what a hack!

Then came the dreadlocks, a twisty mess,
She went for a natural look, I must confess,
Her hair was a jungle, tangled and bold,
And birds nested there, I've been told!

Up next, she sported a big beehive,
A mountain of hair, it made her thrive,
But watch your step, for if you're not aware,
You might find a squirrel nesting in there!

The perm she tried, to add some curl,
But it went haywire, a frizzy whirl,
Her hair had a life of its own, it seemed,
Twisting and turning, like a wild dream!

And let's not forget the mighty mohawk,
A punk rock style that made her squawk,
She spiked it up, a rebellious scene,
But shampooing it took a whole canteen!

Last but not least, the grand finale,
She shaved it all off, bald as a valley,
She embraced her smooth dome with pride,
And hats became her favorite ride!

Oh, the hairstyles she tried, each one a blast,
From towering bouffants to bald heads so vast,
She taught us to laugh, to not take hair too seriously,
For it's just an accessory, oh so deliriously!

So let your hair be wild, let it be free,
Try different styles, see what it could be,
For in the world of hairstyles, it's all just fun and games,
Embrace the laughter, and let your hair reign!

RECIPE FOR DISASTER.

Posted on June 3, 2023 by aparna12

A FUNNY VIDEO.

This is my video on a recipe for disaster.

Here’s a humorous poem for you!

Take a cupful of rumours,
Blend it with gossips so fine.
Let it boil by word of mouth,
And simmer until it’s “divine.”

Then add some lies and falsehoods
To garnish with spicy zeal,
Toss in some distorted facts
Until it’s an explosive meal.

Watch as the tensions start to rise,
And conflicts start to ignite.
Soon, the recipe for disaster
Will be a full-blown food fight.

So, if you want to spice things up,
Just remember this recipe.
But be warned, the end result
May not be a sight to see!

SILLY SUPERSTITIONS

Posted on June 3, 2023 by aparna12

ESSAY

Silly Superstitions: Unveiling the Correct Interpretation

Introduction:

Superstitions have been ingrained in human culture for centuries, captivating the human imagination and influencing behavior. While some superstitions are harmless and add a touch of mystique to our lives, others can lead to unnecessary anxiety and irrational decisions. In this essay, we will explore a few examples of silly superstitions and aim to shed light on their true interpretations, encouraging a more rational and evidence-based understanding of the world.

Walking under a ladder: One of the most widely known superstitions is the belief that walking under a ladder brings bad luck. While this notion may seem deeply ingrained in our minds, it is more likely rooted in practical concerns rather than supernatural forces. Walking under a ladder can be hazardous due to the risk of objects falling or someone accidentally knocking it over. Therefore, the “bad luck” associated with this superstition is better understood as a precautionary measure to ensure personal safety rather than an actual curse.
Breaking a mirror: The notion that breaking a mirror leads to seven years of bad luck is another widely popular superstition. However, this belief can be traced back to ancient times when mirrors were considered rare and valuable. The seven-year duration was likely associated with the time it would take to replace or repair such an expensive item. In reality, breaking a mirror holds no inherent mystical power and its consequences are simply a matter of personal perception. It serves as a reminder to handle delicate objects with care rather than being a harbinger of misfortune.
Friday the 13th: The infamous superstition surrounding Friday the 13th has caused anxiety for many people throughout history. The origins of this belief are multifaceted and vary across cultures. Some trace it back to Christian traditions, associating Friday with the crucifixion of Jesus and thirteen with the Last Supper, where Judas, the betrayer, was present. However, considering that there is no scientific evidence supporting any specific dangers on this day, it is best to approach Friday the 13th like any other day and not let unfounded fears dictate our actions.
Black cats: Black cats have often been associated with superstitions, particularly in Western cultures. Some believe that crossing paths with a black cat brings bad luck, while others consider them a sign of good fortune. The negative perception of black cats can be attributed to medieval Europe, where they were often linked to witchcraft and dark magic. However, it is important to recognize that a cat’s color does not influence its ability to bring luck or misfortune. In reality, these beliefs perpetuate harmful stereotypes and hinder the adoption of black cats from shelters.

Conclusion: Superstitions have undoubtedly influenced human behavior and culture for centuries. However, it is crucial to approach them with a rational mindset and seek evidence-based explanations rather than attributing supernatural powers to random events. Understanding the historical context and practical reasoning behind these superstitions allows us to separate fact from fiction and encourages critical thinking. By adopting a more informed perspective, we can eliminate the superstitions and adopt rational thinking.

MURDER ON THE ORIENT ESPRESSO (ARC)

Posted on June 2, 2023 by aparna12

CHELSEA THOMAS

Book review.

Murder on the Orient Espresso (ARC) The Apple Orchard cozy mystery by author Chelsea Thomas is one of my most favorite cozy mysteries. Amateur sleuths Chelsea, her Aunt Miss May and Teeny are my absolute favorites. I especially adore Teeny for her awesome, witty replies.

Chelsea’s truck is giving her trouble. Accompanied by her Aunt Miss May and Teeny, she visits Adams Automotive whose owner Scott Adams manages to infuriate them. The trio visit Train Car Coffee, a coffee shop, where in a turn of events, Scott dies. He seems to have died of natural causes, that is, a heart attack. But the popular sleuths of Pine Grove believe otherwise.

The deceased had plenty of enemies and the Police Chief seems quite intent to pin this murder on Chelsea. Someone warns her to back off the investigation. ‘I loved everything about this book. Excellent plot, awesome narration, fun and loads of humor, make this book highly irresistible and can’t think of taking eyes off reading even for a minute.

I highly recommend this book to all the cozy mystery lovers which would be available on Amazon on June 3, 2023.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

SHORT STORIES FRIDAYS(86)

Posted on June 2, 2023 by aparna12

LOST IN ABYSS : A SCIENCE FICTION SHORT STORY bY ME.

Lost in the Abyss

The year was 2247, and humanity had reached new frontiers in space exploration. The Intrepid, a state-of-the-art spacecraft, embarked on a mission to explore the uncharted depths of the Nebulae System. Captain Adam Reynolds, along with his crew of six, was on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery that would shape the future of mankind. Little did they know, their space adventure would take an unexpected and terrifying turn.

As the Intrepid ventured further into the depths of the Nebulae System, the crew encountered an anomaly—a gravitational disturbance that defied all known laws of physics. Intrigued, they decided to investigate. They cautiously approached the source, their hearts pounding with anticipation.

Suddenly, without warning, the ship was engulfed in a blinding light. Alarms blared, and the crew members were thrown to the ground as the ship convulsed violently. The turbulence ceased as abruptly as it had started, leaving the crew disoriented and bewildered.

When Captain Reynolds managed to regain his senses, he found himself in the control room surrounded by damaged equipment and injured crew members. He quickly assessed the situation and discovered that they were no longer in the Nebulae System. Their ship had been thrust into an unknown region of space, far from their intended destination.

Communication systems were damaged, rendering them unable to contact Earth or any other known civilizations. The crew was trapped in the abyss of the universe, with no hope of rescue or return. Panic and fear settled among them as they grappled with the stark reality of their situation.

Days turned into weeks, and the crew’s morale plummeted. Food and supplies dwindled, forcing them to ration their resources. In this desperate struggle for survival, tensions ran high, and the once cohesive crew began to unravel. The isolation and uncertainty gnawed at their sanity, pushing them to the edge.

Then, one fateful day, the ship picked up a faint distress signal. Hope surged through the crew’s veins as they deciphered the coordinates and plotted a course towards the source. They clung to the belief that this signal would lead them to salvation—a way back home.

However, as they approached the signal’s origin, eerie phenomena began to unfold. The once barren expanse of space morphed into a surreal realm of swirling colors and disorienting illusions. Time seemed to lose its meaning, and the crew’s perception of reality blurred.

The closer they got, the more bizarre the occurrences became. Ghostly apparitions roamed the ship’s corridors, whispers echoed through the vents, and the crew’s nightmares materialized before their eyes. Paranoia gripped them, and the line between reality and delusion grew thinner.

As they neared the source of the distress signal, they discovered a derelict spacecraft—an ancient vessel from a civilization long extinct. The crew hesitated, but their desperation drove them to board the mysterious craft. It was a decision that would seal their fate.

Once inside, they found themselves ensnared in a labyrinthine maze, shifting and twisting with every step. Claustrophobia and fear plagued their minds as they fought against the darkness closing in on them. The ship seemed to feed off their terror, its malevolent presence palpable.

One by one, the crew members succumbed to the horrors of the ship. Some vanished without a trace, swallowed by the shifting walls. Others lost their minds, tormented by the haunting whispers that filled the air. Captain Reynolds, the last remaining member, pressed on, determined to find answers and escape the clutches of this unholy vessel.

Finally, in the bowels of the ship, he discovered a chamber housing a cryptic artifact—a crystalline orb pulsating with an otherworldly enemy.

Captain Reynolds cautiously approached the artifact, his hand outstretched. “What are you?” he whispered, his voice barely audible over the hum of the pulsating orb.

A chilling voice echoed through the chamber, its tone filled with ancient wisdom and malevolence. “I am the harbinger of the Abyss, the guardian of forbidden knowledge,” it intoned.

Captain Reynolds shuddered but refused to succumb to fear. “What do you want from us?” he demanded, his voice tinged with defiance.

The voice chuckled darkly. “I desire nothing but chaos and despair. I am a conduit to the realms beyond, a gateway to the nightmares that lurk in the deepest recesses of the universe.”

Determined, Captain Reynolds reached a decision. “I will not allow you to control our destiny. We will find a way out of this nightmare.”

As he turned to leave, the orb unleashed a burst of energy, enveloping him in its ethereal glow. Reynolds felt his mind being invaded, memories ripped apart and replaced with dark visions. He fought against the onslaught, summoning his willpower.

Suddenly, a burst of light erupted from the artifact, dispelling the darkness. Captain Reynolds found himself standing on the bridge of the Intrepid, surrounded by his crew members. Confusion and relief washed over him.

One of the crew members, Lieutenant Anderson, spoke up, her voice trembling. “Captain, we experienced a temporal anomaly. It seems we were caught in a loop, trapped in our own fears and nightmares.”

Reynolds nodded, a glimmer of understanding dawning upon him. “The orb, it fed off our fears, creating illusions and ensnaring us in a never-ending cycle.”

With renewed determination, the crew set out to disable the artifact, their unity stronger than ever. They fought their way through the haunted corridors, facing their deepest fears head-on. Slowly, the illusions crumbled, and reality reasserted itself.

Finally, they reached the chamber once more. The orb pulsated with rage, sensing its imminent defeat. Captain Reynolds focused his willpower, mustering all his strength. With a resounding shout, he hurled himself at the artifact, shattering it into a thousand shards.

As the fragments of the orb scattered, the ship trembled, the malevolent presence dissipating. The crew members felt a rush of relief, a weight lifted from their shoulders. They had overcome the horrors that had plagued them, emerging victorious from the clutches of the ancient vessel.

Days later, the Intrepid, battered but resilient, emerged from the Nebulae System, finally making contact with Earth. Their story of survival and the eldritch horrors they had encountered captivated the world, becoming a cautionary tale of the dangers lurking beyond the stars.

Captain Reynolds and his crew were hailed as heroes, but their minds were forever scarred by the horrors they had witnessed. The Abyss had left its mark, a constant reminder of the thin line between exploration and the terrifying unknown.

As humanity ventured further into the cosmos, they carried the memory of the Intrepid’s harrowing journey, a reminder to tread carefully and respect the mysteries that awaited them in the depths of space.

DEALING WITH MIND CHEWING IDIOTS.

Posted on June 1, 2023 by aparna12

HUMOROUS ESSAy AND VERY FUNNY NOTICES.

Well, hello there frustrated reader! Are you tired of people testing your patience with their incessant and annoying thoughts? You are not alone my friend! In fact, many of us have been there too. But fear not, because I am here to offer you some advice on how to handle these situations with humor and wit.

First and foremost, it’s important to remember that not everyone is going to have the same level of intelligence or common sense as you do. So, when faced with someone who seems to be chewing your mind with their stupidity, try to put yourself in their shoes. What may seem obvious or simple to you, may not be so for them. In other words, try to be empathetic, and don’t take things too personally.

Now, onto the fun stuff! When someone asks you a question that seems too stupid to answer, take a deep breath, smile, and proceed to give them the most sarcastic and ridiculous response you can muster. For example, if someone asks you if trees can walk, respond with something like “Of course they can! Haven’t you seen the walking trees in Lord of the Rings?” Not only will this disarm them, but it might also give them a good chuckle.

Another approach is to use reverse psychology. When someone is being particularly dense, try agreeing with them in the most over-the-top and exaggerated way possible. For instance, if someone tells you that the earth is flat, you can respond with something like “Absolutely! And the moon is made of cheese, and the sun is just a really big flashlight.” If nothing else, this will remind them of the absurdity of their own argument.

Lastly, if all else fails, just walk away. Sometimes, it’s just not worth engaging with someone who is determined to bring you down with their stupidity. Take a deep breath, remind yourself that you are smart and capable, and move on to greener pastures.

In conclusion, dealing with people who test your patience with their stupidity can be frustrating, but with a little bit of humor and wit, you can turn it into a fun and entertaining experience. So, the next time someone tries to chew your mind with their stupid thoughts, remember to keep calm, be empathetic, and let your cleverness shine through.

After a tryst with idiots, these are some hilarious notices to add to your laughter.
