When he checks the mirror, he has bright orange hair stretched out in two wings on either side of his head, plus a face now completely covered in clown white and massive red lips. He has, in short, woken up transformed into a clown...

The doctor, who insists that I cite him as “Dr. Franz,” has a habit of holding his hand over his mouth as he giggles. He wears a white lab coat like a scientist from the movies, but this is an affectation. Everyone at Snuggle Club wears the coats, the same way Walmart ‘partners’ wear blue shirts...

To start, my pet has no roots and only two limbs. Her bark is soft and spongy. A domed leafless flower grows from her trunk. She’s small; standing a mere four branches high and makes odd gibbering sounds when I draw close...

"You’re sure that’s not a vulcan?"
Pikachimp, Vlad’s right-arm man shook his head. "Nah. Them’s elves all right. And the tall one’s been shopping same place as you."
Vlad’s preternatural sight was perfectly adapted to the club’s dim lighting. "You’re right. I can’t believe he has the nerve to wear that in here. I practically invented throat-ruffles. C’mon, let’s show those pansies they can’t mess with vampires..."

"Jeez Louise," Frank says to Delores, as he glances from his window at the long line of onlookers—Father Gomez among them. "They're still out there."
Across the room their six-year old Chihuahua , Shorty, lounges atop a penthouse of cushions. "I fixed Shorty something," Delores says. "Should get him going again..."

Its extraordinary mouth, its thick and scaly hide, and its single, deep-set eye were wonders scarcely less remarkable than its colossal dimensions; and when the naturalists pronounced it an infant organism, which could not have been hatched more than a few days, public interest mounted to extraordinary heights...

"I can smell the blood on your hands, I can smell your innocence dead and stinking on your breath!"
Max quickly glanced down at his clean hands. Just before he arrived he had washed them with disinfectant soap and meticulously cleaned under the nails.
"You're looking for the support group?" The old man's voice was as creepy as he looked.
"Yes"
"You're late. Out of courtesy to the other members, please arrive on time next week...."

In America at the time, stuffed full as it was with young men looking for a draft dodge and housewives listless for the next wave of feminism, people needed an escape route.
