Ninguid cars block the sidewalk. Snow primped tin forms a guard of honour. A thick layer of ice on top, the frog in my throat hibernates. Once bewitched by your charm, I guess, it was fun while it lasted. For you, anyway.

As the shore of Devil's Claw came into view, Vandor's shoulders tensed. Being on the sea helped him grow beyond a great deal of bitterness, and freed him from his father's shadow. His new duty was to his land and its people.
"It was fun while it lasted, men. Now our true work begins!"

"I didn't think I'd ever find you again." He enveloped her in a crushing embrace; their tears mingled together as they kissed.
"What a strange yet magical journey we had," she said softly. "It was fun while it lasted. Let's go home, my landscaper husband."

"Welp," Ren says with a grim smile, looking down at the red-slick meat-thing that used to be their chief, "it was fun while it lasted."
Mark lets out a noise that sounds like he's spitting seeds. "Fuck."
"Indeed."
"What do we do?"
"Lie."
"I...I can't."
"Then it was nice knowing you."
Going to college was the most enlightening time of my life. Then I went to grad school. It was fun while it lasted.

Time now to let go
It was fun while it lasted
Still - mixed emotions
A vast horizon beckons
Colourful wonders await

“It was fun while it lasted,”
she murmured,
shutting the apartment door.
The party’s echoes faded,
replaced by the hum
of unseen neighbors.
A hundred lives
stacked vertically—
so close, yet unreachable.
She scrolled absently,
drowning in digital company,
utterly alone.

The Carnival's nighttime lights dazzled the child's eyes. She yearned to be in line for a ride, yet she could only watch as fading lights slid past. Turning around to kneel on the car seat, she thought, "It was fun while it lasted."

It's still as realistic as it was fun while it lasted
to wander along the corridor of some whispers,
carefully orchestrated to influence the feelings,
invoked by the finest memories into a paradise,
guided by music, to turn us on, more than once.
She was a rich widow
aged ninety-eight
I was a her toy boy
we started to date.
We dined in expensive places. People stared, making faces. People thought I was after her money
just a gigolo on the make.
Then she died in our marital bed.
all I can say is
It was fun while it lasted.

"It was fun while it lasted." Stella looked down. "Maybe if things were different we could've been friends. Though I still think you're loud and stupid."
"Yeah, it was nice to have someone enjoy anime with me and it's not in a creepy way," Jin said. "Though I think you're a psycho bitch." #hbp150

It was fun while it lasted
Our amusing little romp
A sojourn under a yellow sun
We are almost at our stop
Life's a game that we play
I hope you feel the same
The others don't care either way
But I, I voted for you to stay
Unfortunately.
That word, it says a lot.
We cannot proceed with you

Captain Cook stared at the blank spot on his map where Hawaii should be—then at the advancing warriors.
His ship had sailed off the edge of his own incomplete chart.
As the first spear pierced his chest, he chuckled, "Fun while it lasted." He’d need to have a word with his cartographer.

It was fun while it lasted.
Sure, it wasn’t all good. Honestly, I’ll probably have to bear the emotional scars of the stuff that wasn’t…all that great for a while.
But I can’t deny that my past there has shaped me into who I am today. So as much as it hurts to say: thank you.

"There's not enough!"
He felt the hand on his shoulder, and looked up to the baker.
"You didn't bake enough."
"Hon, I never said I was leaving for good, I said I was done baking."
"I-I know. But-"
A finger up. "No buts. It was fun while it lasted, but I'm done."
"Full baked?"
"Full baked."

Part 2
“Heeeey…” Uncertain what words should come next, Hazen's voice trailed off.
Blue eyes stared back, drawing the obvious conclusion from Hazen’s face. “Not looking good huh?”
“Um…”
“Such is the life of a Champion.” Then a long shuddering breath later, “It was fun while it lasted.”

It was fun while it lasted. He did get to marry the princess, but then the paperwork started coming in. Treaties. Declarations. Sign this, sign that. Frogs never got this sort of harassment. He was done princing around.

The young maid had captivated the King instantly.
Within weeks, over outrage, their marriage was arranged.
That night in his chambers, he asked her heart’s #desire, said he’d give her anything.
She kissed him, then slid a blade between his ribs. “Your kingdom,” she whispered. #vss365 #hbp150
“You think this is the end?” she asked, perched on the hood of his wrecked car.
He wiped blood from his temple “Feels like it.”
She shrugged “Good. Endings are cleaner than regrets”
He stared at the ring of scorched earth. “So…”
She slid off the hood, boots crunching ash. “See ya”

“It was fun while it lasted,” she said, vanishing into a shoe-shaped portal.
Now I’ve got a crown, a curse, and a goose with opinions.
The end is just the middle in a hat.

Spaceman Bob glanced at the smoldering remains of the off-planet base. "It was fun while it lasted."
Spacewoman Linda disagreed. "Never again. The next alien entity we encounter, no matter how convincing, is not allowed access to the orbital controls."
"The freefall was neat," said Bob.

He felt a tap at the back of his head. A gun.
"Put another finger on that keyboard and you're a dead man.", the officer barked. The game was over.
Well, it was fun while it lasted, Len thought. Or was it? Who said it had to end this way?
"Bet." said Len, and hit the Enter key.

Twist the knife. Silence. How disappointing. I pull it out. Crimson droplets plop on the gravel. My ears are ringing. The once warm and sticky liquid now as cool as my temper.
I kick one of their boots, just to be sure.
This one hung on longer than the others. It was fun while it lasted.
