A hedgehog opened a custody hearing  
in a parking garage.

No one objected.

The filing was done in marmalade.

Three witnesses arrived:  
a left shoe,  
a decoy duck,  
and a regret that had been composted improperly.

The woman spoke only  
through interpretive coughing.

The man arrived late,  
wearing a leash made of pasta.

The dogs declined comment —  
but did wink,  
at once.

A verdict was announced via foghorn:  
“Possession is 9/10 of the emotional spiral.”

The garage applauded.

The moon sued for copyright.

The dogs went back to their dreams.

One dreamed of rain.  
The other dreamed of her.
