Alright, here are some short lines from the crosstalk:
Crosstalk actor Guo Degang once said,"Crosstalk is a language art that allows the audience to understand how to speak in Henan dialect."
Crosstalk actor Yue Yunpeng also once said,"Crosstalk actors cannot fall in love with the audience, and the audience cannot fall in love with crosstalk actors."
The crosstalk actor Fan Wei once said,"Making the audience laugh is not making you cry."
Crosstalk actor Zhao Benshan also once said,"Let the audience cry, not let you laugh."
The crosstalk actor Ma Sanli once said,"Crosstalk is a satirical art that satirizes the unreasonable things in society."
Well, this one is good. A guy goes to the doctor. Doctor: 'What seems to be the problem?' Guy: 'I keep seeing spots in front of my eyes.' Doctor: 'Didn't the new glasses help?' Guy: 'Sure, now I see the spots more clearly.' Another one: I got carded at the liquor store. I showed my library card. They were not amused.
Not all of them. While there are numerous free on line short stories available on platforms such as Smashwords (which has a lot of independent authors offering their works for free), there are also paid short stories. For instance, some well - known authors may sell their short stories on their official websites or through major e - book retailers. And in some cases, you might need to subscribe to a service to access a library of short stories, like with Scribd.
Well, one possible 'scary two - line story' could be 'I heard a knock on the door at midnight. When I opened it, no one was there but I felt a cold hand on my shoulder.' Another could be 'The old house was empty. As I walked in, I saw a shadow that moved on its own.' And a third one might be 'She walked through the graveyard. Suddenly, a whisper called her name from an unmarked grave.'
