New Flash Fiction: vote for the best one!

Heart
Their car broke down in the middle of nowhere. Jeff and Lisa ran away because some kind of creature had been chasing them since they left the main road. They saw a gas station nearby and walked toward it. A weird man showed up and offered help, although he had other intentions. The man took them inside the house and invited them to drink some coffee. All of a sudden, he silently took a rusted machete in an attempt to stab them. But it was too late: transformed into vampires, the couple cut the man’s chest and ate his heart.

The Contrary Of A Wish: A Lie
She knew her son; he would never let her pull that tooth away. She was starting to get really worried, as the flesh around it was turning redder, so she tried one last thing: “The tooth-fairy will take it and leave money under your pillow". Of course, her smart son didn’t believe it, and neither did she – she had never believed this silliness. Nevertheless, what she didn’t know is that, by lying so extravagantly, she had teased the tooth-thief fairy. It was too late by the morning, when she found her son, on the bed, without any teeth.

Genie And The Bottle
“I’m sick and tired of this!”, she yells with her eyes wide open. Would that wish really come true? She waited a little longer. Silence. “Ok, go back to sleep.” She thought to herself. “It’s gonna work, sooner or later. Relax.” In her dreams she could fly away and sleep without any noise the whole night. “People have no idea what really matters in life!” Vince woke her up: “Genie, wake up! The baby is crying again.” Needless to say, as he headed towards the baby, she went downstairs to get the bottle.

The Unusual Observer
He was yanking her heart while a group of people were looking at them. Her life has been in danger for a long time but now there was nothing to do to get away of her fate. He opened her chest and the people around were staring at them like in a dark ritual – yanking people’s heart –, as if it were pretty usual. Suddenly, she peered letting tears fall down and someone came quickly covering her nose with a kind of anesthesia mask and then she fainted. That was the last time that Dr. House saw her green eyes.

No Love story
There’s no worst feeling than realizing you’ve made the wrong choice. In the middle of the endless number of faces you choose the one that’s gonna hurt you the most. The ball had just begun, she was here. I had to know her. The announcement of our engagement was instantly made, but the happiness was soon over. Escaped through the window, my lovely princess disappeared right in front of my eyes. I couldn’t do anything.  I couldn’t believe it.  I looked everywhere but I never saw her again. Cinderella lived happily ever after. I didn’t.
