Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #6

[David Evil Overlord]

That comment gives me an idea. But I've already written mine...

 

[TheDustyZebra]

You still have time for another. Or ... maybe not. I guess it will be opening for posting any time now. Is it really that time, already?

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

Yes, it just occurred to me a few minutes ago that it was already tomorrow.

So I've opened the thread.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

It's already been tomorrow here in Australia for so long, it's almost the day after.

My unearthed plot bunny has been posted. That is all.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Mine too. Really struggled this month, the image seemed a hard one to grasp.

 

[Abernovo]

I'm glad it wasn't just me finding it so. Lots of possibilities, but nothing has solidified in my mind yet.

 

[Brian G Turner]

Something came immediately to mind when I saw the picture.

 

[Gary Compton]

Something came immediately to mind when I saw the picture.

Welcome to the challenges, guv. If I'm not mistaken, you've broken your duck

Good story also!

I'm struggling as I cant get swastikas out of my head. If I go down that route, it will be dark, very dark.

 

[Lilmizflashythang]

Mines up. And I'm expecting trouble soon. The main moderator ain't never posted before.

 

[stevietee]

Uh-oh, I peered through the window of the 300 word challenge and my jaw dropped at the quality of those that had arrived already. What was I thinking? I held onto my piece of paper with 300 poorly constructed words, masquerading as sentences pretending to be a story. "Lets 'ave a look then" said the man on the door, a burly looking fellow. "Who me?" I said. "Umm... don't think I'll be coming in today." I screwed the paper into a ball and went to buy a new drawing board....

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Stevietee, I feel like that every month: judging by your other entries, it'll be fab.

 

[Brian G Turner]

Welcome to the challenges, guv. If I'm not mistaken, you've broken your duck

Good story also!

Normally I don't see what's going on - too busy - but happened to see Teresa's posting when it first went up, and immediately I just saw the chimney and swastikas and something jumped up.

I fear I'm a little cliched, but it had to be done, and it's only a fun competition regardless.

I really like Teresa's piece though - very tight and evocative wording.

 

[allmywires]

I wasn't sure I would enter this one, but I came up with an idea in the end. 1st person present tense is growing on me...

David & springs, yours are my favourite as yet.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Thanks, allmywires.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Cheers, AMW, illustrious company: I suspect DEO has always wanted his very own zombie factory... All brilliant so far, all so, so different.... again!

 

[David Evil Overlord]

With enough zombies, I could rule the world! Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Um, I mean, I don't know what you mean, Springs.

Yes, some very good stories. All so different -- including those using the swastika-in-the-fence idea.

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

I've nothing yet, *sigh*.


Still trying to think. Maybe another look at the picture. I never did see any swastika design; I was looking at the town in the background and the coloring of the photo itself.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

If the people who own that fence ever read this thread, they'd tear it out and build a new one!

 

[hopewrites]

an idea struck like lightning. if I can tighten it up in time i'll be delighted.

 

[Perpetual Man]

As with the 75 words, not really put as much time into this as I would have liked, but once it is up it frees me to do other things, so....
