The Dark Tooth Fairy
A Haunting tale of Nightmare Terrors in a Small Town
People in a small town talked about a Tooth Fairy in a dark and true way.
She didn't come to play or give gifts; she came to steal the night away.
She spooked every child's dreams with her ragged wings and bright eyes.
There was a tooth under the pillow, but she would take out another one.
screams and cries that can't be heard,
The scary things happen at night.
A bright silver coin stained with blood,
Being left in the dark and without any light.
Even though parents left, kids knew about the scary things that happened in the night.
Because the dark Tooth Fairy looks for her thrill in the shadows, where it is cold and still.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
