Moby Dick; Or, The Rabbit
by thegooddoctor in 100 Words
Some said we merely followed orders. Others, the whims of a madman. I knew we chased a ghost.
We followed down the hole, and past that infernal tea party. We would circle around perdition’s flames before he would give him up.
It was Ahab’s singular obsession. To forever pursue the white rabbit that had trespassed onto his vegetable patch one autumn night so many years ago.
We heard him rant from the back of our carriage deep into the night.
“From hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee. Ye damned rabbit.”

The Mad Hatter Goes To Parliament
by thegooddoctor in 100 Words
When the announcement was made, we took it as a joke. Surely, no one in their right mind would have voted the Mad Hatter a member of Parliament.
“You are not right in the head,” proclaimed the Hatter.
“Then off with our heads,” laughed the crowd.
The beheadings started soon thereafter. Tea Parties became a national affair, and the national coffers were quickly emptied to pay for wine and biscuits.
“But there is no wine and biscuits,” cried the people.
“I have been turned into a scape goat,” lamented the hatter.
And he produced a goat to prove his case.

King George And The Second Boston Tea Party
by thegooddoctor in 100 Words
The Boston chapter of the Tea Party asked every newcomer to show identification. Too many liberal reporters had painted them in a bad light.
The old man was stopped at the front door. “ID please.”
“I don’t have any.”
“Why not?”
“Because ID’s are a plot by the socialist government to try and rob us of our freedom. Before you know it, they’ll have us locked up in death camps.”
“He’s one of us.”
Sweet success. First the time machine, and now this. George may not be royalty in this century, but his divine right to rule was still recognized.
