Here's mine:

A down on his luck toy store owner gets a new toy idea from a mysterious passerby. It's an awesome space robot and it sells a ton right before the Christmas season. However on Christmas Eve, The toys come out of there box and steal stuff from the peoples house before returner to the mysterious passerby who happens to be an alien. The alien flies off with the goods and the toy store owner goes to jail.

Whats yours?

Welcome to active participation in the Cafe. Why did you post this twice, though?

Thanks to Dr. Moreau for surprising me with this signature. It beats peach brandy!

People may, eventually. Good ideas sometimes take time. Thanks for starting the thread, though.

This thread is probably best suited for the "Cafe Literary Society" forum. I'll move it there now.

If you post here, please read the new message board rules (effective July 4, 2009). Thanks.

BEWARE: Many Cafe posts reveal story endings or key plot twists without prior warning. There is no rule against this. But if you are courteous enough to post "spoiler warnings"--especially when you post in a thread unrelated to the story you are "spoiling"--many people will appreciate it.

A guy somehow acquires a pair of magic pants. Every time he reaches into the pocket, he finds a five dollar bill in it. He goes on a spending spree, goes out partying, etc. He's at a bar, he orders several rounds for everyone there, puts his hand into his pocket -- and there's no more money. He goes to the bank to get some money so he can pay the tab, and finds that all his money has been withdrawn, five dollars at a time.

That sounds like the pants Woodrow Mulligan acquired during his trip into his future.

Some of those ideas remind me of stories from the magazine series, the Elongated Man. The Elongated Man is Ralph Dibny who drinks a serum called Gingold which then enables his body to become rubberized, elastic.

The situations he finds himself in are very bizarre. But at the same time they are mysteries which he has to solve. They sort of overlap into the Twilight Zone because they appear at first to be supernatural but in the ending they are found to have down-to-earth explanations. I'll try to recall some stories, then will post later.

At that time, I will also post about an actual incident which happened to me, which was almost like an Elongated Man story. In the meantime, maybe some other readers of the Elongated Man series can reminisce.
