Re: Discussion October SEVENTY-FIVE WORD WRITING CHALLENGE
Perp – Would love to comment on this one, but unfortunately repeated readings mean that I am so deeply entrenched within the computer system I might never get out. Many thanks for all positive comments, really made my day(s).
Quokka – It seems as all of this is a nightmare, and one that can be taken on many different levels and meanings. The whole situation has a nightmarish feel, while the idea of being bound to any form of contract and all the tricks and turns that can come with that are in evidence here, but the last nightmarish connotation is that of the hidden small print, a perfect nightmare in itself. And that does not include whatever that may lead to.
Alchemist – If the dreams of man can be haunting and terrible, what then of the dreams of God? Well it seems that mankind may well turn out to be nothing more than a deities nightmare, and the scary thing is I can understand why. If we are little more than God’s dream then it is bad enough, but that he turns aside from the creation... well actually we would not know about it. But the most nightmarish thing? God playing golf!!!
Stormfeather – This is one of those that could be easily transformed to a longer piece and work well with it. All the same it is a scary tale in its own right. The feel that there is something bubbling beneath the surface, directing and manipulating humanity for its own evil ends – and that we are totally susceptible is chilling to say the least.
High Eight – This is one of those stories that is simple, straightforward and does the job, but offers just enough to allow the reader to grab hold of it and let the imagination billow. I’m sure there are countless interpretations that come from this one simple piece and that is the miracle of these little stories, that so many different things can be drawn from so few words, and here it is done so well.
