The Adventures of Sock-ee, the Lost Sock: Enter a lost sock named Sock-ee, alone. Or so he thinks... Sock-ee: I'm lost! Drawer: The sock can talk! Sock-ee: Who said that? Drawer: It is I, the magnificent Drawer. I hold many things in my impressive and respectable collection. Sock-ee: Really? It seems pretty empty here... *Looks around* A cricket chirps. Sock-ee: AHH! A cricket! Drawer: Ahh, my friend Billy. Billy the cricket. Nice to see ya, Billy. Billy: *Chirps twice* Sock-ee: *Gasps* Did he just say...? Drawer: Billy! Don't use that type of language when I have a guest! Billy: *Chirps once* Drawer: No, Billy, you may not hop inside of him. He's probably dirty, anyway. Sock-ee: Excuse me, I'm squeaky clean! I was washed just before I got... lost ! Drawer: You're not lost. You're inside me. You know me, so therefore, you are not lost. Sock-ee: But I am lost! Help me out of here! Drawer: I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll do that. Sock-ee: Why not?!? Drawer: Because I'm tired and don't feel like opening... Sock-ee: You ...! Let me out, you meanie! Drawer: You've offended me. Now I definitely won't help you. Goodnight. Sock-ee: But... bu... but... I need help! Awkward silence for a minute or two Billy: *Chirps thrice* Sock-ee: Shut it, Billy. Sock-ee sits around for a few hours in silence, contemplating and scheming ways to get out of Drawer. Footsteps vibrate the wooden Drawer. They are nearing it. Sock-ee: Huh? Is someone... Is someone there? Drawer opens. A little girl peers inside. Little girl: Mommy and Daddy's dwa-wew! Sock-ee hops out of Drawer. Little girl: *Screams* A moving sock! The little girl's father runs in. Father: What's going on? Honey, are you okay? Holy Flapjacks, you opened the drawer! Little girl: But, Daddy, the sock moved! Father (in a hillbilly accent): Oh, honey, that's just a figment of your i-maj-er-a-shun. Little girl: *Looks confused* Daddy, I thought Mommy told you to stop using your hiwll-biwlly accent! Father: *Looks worried* Oh, you're right, she did. Please don't tell her I said that. So, let's get this drawer closed up, shall we? *Closes drawer and catches finger in it* Dangflabbet! Little girl: *Gasps* I'm telling Mommy! Father: No! I beg of you! *Drops to his knees* Little girl: I'm telling... Both exit the room bickering. Sock-ee: Phew. That was close! Billy: *Chirps four times* Sock-ee: Aww, man! You got out, too? Billy: *Chirps five times* Sock-ee: Fine, you can come, but you have to be good. Billy: *Chirps twice* Sock-ee: Don't insult me! That's it; I'm leaving you here. Billy: *Chirps seven times* Sock-ee: Billy, don't beg. That's degrading. Now, hop along. I need to find my way back to my home. Billy: *Chirps six times* Sock-ee: Billy, just leave! Billy hops off into a corner. Sock-ee: Now, where should I go? Sock-ee hops to the door, which is opened by a woman. Woman: There you are. I knew my daughter's sock was somewhere! Let's wash you; you're pretty dirty. The woman picks up Sock-ee. Sock-ee: No! Woman: Did the sock just...? Clarice, get a hold of yourself. You want to stay out of the crazy house, don't you? Maybe I don't... Maybe I do! Shut up! Quit arguing with me! The woman walks to the washing machine and drops Sock-ee in it. Sock-ee: No! Woman: There. Now let's go make some dinner. No, I don't want to! Yes, you do! Woman walks off, talking to herself. Sock-ee: Huh? The washing machine... It's not moving! I'm safe! A few chirps echo throughout the machine. Sock-ee: Oh, no. This was for Meep's Laugh Fest Contest. It's probably painfully obvious that I'm trying to be funny, since I'm not that great with humor. Haha. Bye!

Very Entertaining!
I loved it!
especially Billy.
hes lyk a stabilising quantity in the story.
the part about the dad and the daughter was entertaining too!
Quite funny.
tho more humour could have been injected in a more discreet manner.
comedies are the hardest to write LOL
very difficult.

im new here so im a newbie!
nice story!

Quote

The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy.
— Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
