A mischievous scheme causes chaos at a costume party. The healer enlists the help of a cat and a mouse to right a lizard's wrong. (This is one of the longer stories I've written in the "Unexpected Inspiration" lgbt+ comedic fantasy series, so I'm posting this separate from the collection.)

This collection of short stories is an lgbt+ lighthearted/comedic fantasy series where artists, inventors, and carnival performers fill the cast. Each short story in this collection involves friendship or cute love, intermixed with magic, mischief, and dorks aplenty! New stories are added to this collection regularly. (I'm currently writing a series of novels called "Unexpected Inspiration" and these short stories all involve characters from those books. Some of these stories are about general friendship and some are more romantic; the romantic ones are generally about my poly triad of main characters. These stories are all PG- the most romantic thing you'll see is some kissing.)

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a short story of speculative fiction by American author Washington Irving, contained in his collection of 34 essays and short stories entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.. Written while Irving was living abroad in Birmingham, England, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was first published in 1820. Along with Irving's companion piece "Rip Van Winkle", "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially during Halloween because of a character known as the Headless Horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier who lost his head to a cannonball in battle.

"The Bells" is a heavily onomatopoeic poem by Edgar Allan Poe which was not published until after his death in 1849. It is perhaps best known for the diacopic use of the word "bells." The poem has four parts to it; each part becomes darker and darker as the poem progresses from "the jingling and the tinkling" of the bells in part 1 to the "moaning and the groaning" of the bells in part 4.

This is the second book, it will contain days 201 - 365. First book located here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/141675805-tomorrow%27s-a-different-day-2018-edition The point of the book is to challenge myself to entertain others by thinking of stupid, or silly dry humoured scenarios for the next 365 days. It's ultimately an experiment but I hope people find enjoyment from it and maybe the dry comedy might just become wet comedy one day...I'll stop now. Anyways if you need something to brighten your day I hope this book can do it.
