There were quite a few. There was a story about a group of people who formed a club dedicated to collecting and wearing clothes made entirely from bubble wrap. It was really strange but they had their own reasons for it. Another story was about a place where it rained fish. It was so odd and scientists were baffled as to how it happened. Also, there was a strange trend where people were trying to communicate with aliens using only Morse code and shiny objects. It was really out there in 2017.
One example is 'Katamari Damacy'. In this game, you play as a tiny prince rolling a ball that gradually gets bigger as it picks up various objects around the world, from thumbtacks to huge buildings. The story is really strange as it doesn't follow the typical narrative of most games. It has a very unique and off - beat sense of humor.
One time, I dreamt that I was a mermaid but instead of living in the ocean, I was in a bathtub. The bathtub was as big as an ocean though. I had a pet goldfish that could talk and it was teaching me how to swim better in that tiny - yet - huge bathtub world. It was really a strange and funny dream.
In one of my dreams, I was at a concert where all the musicians were animals. The lead singer was a parrot wearing a top hat and singing opera. The audience was made up of dancing plants. It was a really strange and hilarious dream.
They are important because they can help children deal with their fears in a safe way. In 'The Little Match Girl', the sad situation might make children more empathetic, and at the same time, they can see that there are ways to find hope even in the darkest of stories. Weird stories also introduce children to different concepts and ideas that they might not encounter in their daily lives, like the magical world in 'The Chronicles of Narnia'.
There was a kid in my neighborhood who used to collect dead insects and keep them in little boxes. He would then line up the boxes and introduce each insect to anyone who would listen, like they were his little friends. It was really strange but also kind of endearing in a way.
No. Erotic stories, especially those that are 'weird' often cross the boundaries of good taste and propriety. Literature should aim to uplift, educate, and inspire, not to arouse inappropriate feelings.
There are several strange Christmas stories. For instance, in one story, a child woke up on Christmas morning to find that all the presents under the tree had been replaced with old shoes. No one knew how it happened or who did it. Another story involves a Christmas party where the snowmen outside the house came to life and joined the party for a short while. It was a really surreal experience for everyone there. And there was this one Christmas when a family's cat started meowing along to the Christmas carols on the radio, which was quite an unusual and spooky thing.
One weird story is about the Bermuda Triangle. Many ships and planes have disappeared mysteriously in that area. Some say it could be due to strange magnetic fields or even extraterrestrial activity.
