Fill In The Blanks Funny Story Novels & Stories

“Probably three favors, actually. She threatened to lace the syrup with laxatives if I didn’t tell her who the date was for.” Madeline bursts into laughter. “Sounds like her.” We sit, and for a while, we just eat. Talk. Joke. She tells me about Elijah and how he moves like a hyperactive spider monkey on steroids. I tell her how Rock once tried to seduce a warrior wolf’s wife just to steal her steak. We laugh more than I thought possible. But eventually… the jokes run out. The quiet settles. And the air changes. Madeline lies back on the blanket, staring up at the slowly darkening sky.

Inventing the story as he turned each page. The fox. The bird. The mountain. The stars. By the time he reached the final page... Peanut was smiling so hard her cheeks hurt. "Again." Thomas laughed. "We just finished." "Again." He looked at Elena helplessly. She covered her smile with one hand. "I think you've lost." Honestly? He had. Fair. Very fair. Reasonable actually. So he began again. This time changing the story. Making the fox even more stubborn. Making the bird even braver.

The room went dead quiet when I said I would take the prize, but that quiet did not last. A second later, laughter thundered through the air. Lily Smith was the loudest, doubling over with tears streaming from her eyes. "How else could she be the top seller?" she cackled. "A woman like her has to have skin as thick as a rhino." I ignored her snide comments and kept my cool. "Just to be clear," I said, "since the company so generously 'rewarded' me with bathroom duty, that's all I'll be doing for the next three days. Everything else is off my plate."

Their laughter blended easily with the background hum of the restaurant, and for a moment Layla almost forgot this was all pretend. By the time their food arrived, their conversation had drifted into lighter, sillier territory. Layla had found herself leaning forward, laughing at Ethan’s ridiculous office stories—like how one of his coworkers swore his stapler was haunted because it kept disappearing, only to be found in the fridge. “You’re making that up,” she said, cutting into her food. “I swear I’m not,” Ethan said, grinning. “And I was the unlucky guy who found it next to someone’s yogurt cup. Still don’t know how it got there.”

I ask, my tone bored, not finding his jokes funny. My mind went blank.

"Okay! Okay! I will stop, but that joke of yours isn't good. Aren't there any more funny jokes?" I sat down next to Shin again. "I still have a lot of jokes," I replied. "Okay let me hear," "Here is a knock-knock joke. Knock-knock," - Me. "Who's there?" - Shin. "Tank," - Me. "Tank, who?" - Shin. "You're welcome!" Shin and I both poker-faced to that joke at the same time so I immediately drew a long line on it. "Knock! Knock!" - Me.

He exclaims. "Okay you know my story, what's yours?" I've been wondering how he got into it, and now my nosy side can gain some info! "Funny story actually, Cole was mixed up way before me. I started getting bored of playing basketball so I was like 'what's the worst that could happen?'" "That wasn't a funny story." I cringe. The door creaks open and I turn back to my sketchbook. °°° "... And then she's like 'why?' and Mr Lane goes batshit crazy!" Sam's retelling the story of what went down in maths to the rest of the group.

I sighed and fetched us sandwiches, promising myself I'd sneak in something resembling a vegetable tomorrow. We sat cross-legged in the tent, munching on our gourmet picnic, while Eddie launched into a long, meandering ghost story about a haunted basketball and a boy named Kevin who disappeared because he refused to brush his teeth. "And then," Eddie whispered, flashlight under his chin, "they say you can still hear Kevin's mom yelling from the woods: 'I told you to floss, Kevin!'" I burst out laughing. "That's not even scary!" I said. "Terrifying for Kevin, though."

"Like... the second you shut your eyes, something might be right there behind you? I swear I can't even rinse my damn hair without thinking someone's about to burst in through the door or window. It's ridiculous, right?" He gave a quick laugh, not waiting for my answer. "There's a funny story behind it, so now I just keep my eyes open. It stings like hell when the shampoo gets into my eyes, so I bought some goggles to help with that." He hummed again, off-key, before adding, almost cheerfully, "I'm bored, so I'll tell you the story. I had this guy once—Frankie. Big guy, shoulders like a fridge. Thought he was smarter than me."

“Iz, I’vе been wоrrіеd ѕісk, I’vе rang you tеn times. I tаkе it from thе ісе cream соmа thаt thіngѕ dіdn’t gо wеll?” “Thаt’ѕ thе thіng, I gave іt mу аll аnd іt ѕtіll wаѕn’t еnоugh.
