This is so corny that it’s corny. It’s OK, sometimes absurd is absurd. And short is short. ONE DAY LEFT OF 31 STORIES AND PODCASTS IN 31 DAYS. What I like to call Flash August Fiction. Here is a link for my discord if you would like to attend a live reading on any Sunday: https://discord.gg/eQ9HKzgvus. Thanks for sharing and liking and the nice conversations. This little storytelling podcast has grown a little bit.

All the scary bogeymens were scary. What would they have done if they didn’t have the bogeymens? There would have been nothing to scare them. The people on the team needed to have the people on the other team. And the other team needed the people on that team, and both teams needed the bogeymens. That is what made them teams.

The teams had all kinds of numbers and statistics to prove about the bogeymens. They said that all the bad things were because of the bogeymens. All the statistics of both teams, pointed to the other team’s bogeymens. And they were all correct.

It made it easy to have specific bogeymens to blame. Blaming bogeymens, was easier than responsibility. The only time the teams ever told the truth, was when they were exposing the lies and the crimes of the other team’s bogeymens.

The teams were so distracted by the other team’s bogeymens, that they did not have time to be aware of so many other things that were harming and threatening both their teams, and even all the many many many people who were not on their teams.

The televisions were paid by the people who made all the bogeymens, so if the televisions discussed the bogeymens, they would lose their money. The televisions were forbidden from explaining the problems of the bogeymens. They were only allowed to read things about the phenomenon of the teams and their bogeymens. The news was the reactions the teams had to the other team’s bogeymens, not the reason for the bogeymens, or who was behind the bogeymens, because bogeymens wrote the words the televisions said.

The teams became exhausted from fighting the bogeymens, and then one day, both teams were vanquished. When it was all over, and both the teams had expended themselves because of their obsession with the bogeymens, it ruined everything for everyone, and the only things left, were bogeymens. The scary bogeymens won.
