I am toying with the idea of doing a sequel to last months entry. But am having difficulty getting the idea to make sense.
Some really good entries so far.
 
More good entries, it's hard again. I'm looking forward to comments. SS very clever, Alc, very evocative, intriguing. And, Glen, I admire anyone who can get cognitive dissonance in not once but twice, in fact it's making me feel like I'm all challenged and not sure of my understanding of the challenge
*shudders*
 
Ugh you are tempting me, but I do find it works so much better to wait and then read them all together. Otherwise I get one in my head that I can't shake and it isn't fair to the entries that come after it.

Just now I have a whole month nearly to wait :)
 
It's only this morning that I realise just how hard this month's challenge really is. Just what is uncanny in a world where magic is the norm?
 
Thank you Warren and springs.

My magical realism research continues. I'm almost enjoying my Salman Rushdie book.
 
Just posted, and it was very thought provoking to say the least. I just hope it falls in the sub genre I think it does but I guess we'll find out.:D
 
Once again, some excellent & diverse entries already. We're really stretching this envelope!

Mine's written & I shall post shortly; I think that Mars has influenced me slightly this month.
 
Well, I figure I'll have to do these in small batches, but here goes.


Springs: Never could imagine golf would be like this, but I'd almost consider taking it up. The question is...can these men live with themselves after what they've done?


Bowler1: When the fairy folk are hit by the economy crisis, you know things are bad, and it's not every day you'd be able to see one resist temptation towards wishes. I got a little laugh out of the leprechaun's response to the narrator.


Anya: Ah, the infamous Crowley name lives on. Sounds almost like an initiation, and not really sure why it would want to be undertaken, but, people do strange things sometimes.


Hex: Remind me never to rob that place. :eek: Poetic justice for thieves, but I shudder to imagine how much red tape the incident would cause.


Abernovo: This one reminds me of the Odd Thomas novels by Dean Koontz, somewhat. I can't remember what the creatures were called, but they were a similar sort of thing. A step further was taken here by being able to physically affect the real world, and would be just a great modern movie scene.

Click to expand...

Isn't it cool how we all read these things differently! I read this story as the locals doing their best for the incomers who just didn't listen, cut down the hawthorn and suffered the (magical and HORRIBLE) consequences...
 
Indeed, I had to go back and read it again to understand the golfing reference. I focused on the tree as well.
