Starbeast -- a lightning-paced, surreal farce that could make an animated cartoon

Thank you very much Victoria Silverwolf. I almost decided to do a horror story. but I went for a zany comedy instead.

Starbeast: Crazy. A lot of fun to read, and would be even more fun after a bottle of Klingon Moonshine.

Heh heh. Thanks Tywin for your review. I think Romulan Ale might be safer to drink.

SB – It is just so insane. And that is in the best possible way. And it makes sense too!

Thank you for the sellar review Perpetual Man. If you think this tale was insane, the horror story I dumped (for this one), was the ultimate tale of disturbing madness.

Starbeast, Victoria, tywin and Perpetual Man, thank you all for your kind words and reviews. Much appreciated.

I haven't done my 300 reviews yet. And I don't have time tonight. Hopefully soon I'll be able to.

I shall return.

 

[BetaWolf]

Thanks, Perpetual Man. You got what I was going for.

Victoria & Perp Man - Thank you both for your comments & review!

Very rewarding to log-in to!

...and ratsy..."1000+?" Well done! At my pace, I'll join you up there around summer 2015!

Victoria Silverwolf - Well written drama that takes us inside a prison compound, where two individuals pass the time playing a game of chess. And a black bird induces memories of a loved one. Grim and wonderful.

Karn Maeshalanadae - Shocking apocalypical science fiction tale about what caused an unstoppable depopulation of the world. A lone survivor narrates this sci-fi drama, and reveals his disturbing fate. Infectiously cool.

Tywin - Marvelous science ficion offing with a facinating history and astounding outcome. An incredible story about humans and those who live beyond us! There aren't Munchins over the rainbon, there are celestials!

Springs - Beautifully written tale, dramatic, as well as tremendous . I love a good "father and son" story that is chocked full of creamy goodness. My heart soared with the final lines of the feathery treat. Good stuff Springs.

Luiglin - This story also tugs at my emotions. Such a sweet tale that displays wonderful imagery of the past for the reader who lived in those glorious days, which is now called the golden years of sci-fi. But it was the love for family that is the most precious part of this delightful entry.

Bowler1 - A zombie tale, YES! Not gory, but creepy enough to chill the bones. Grab your pike, and feed the crows those rotton living dead folk who want human meat for their meal. Amy and Derek are brave, and cool kids.

Glen - Uniquely outstanding story, an astonishing idea about the first draft of Pierre Boulie's (may I call it), The Planet of the Birds. Fortunately for his fans, the sci-fi classic is rewritten later and made into many interesting movies. Good stuff Glen.

Mouse - Birds of a feather, must rhyme together, and beware the kitty cat. Superb and surreal fantasy that is definately a fun read that soars in the sky with magpie, and perches on top of excellence. Wonderful and witty.



I must say that I'm blown away by all of the original mighty stories! Everyone made great usage of 300 words (or less). They are all jam-packed with clever dialogue and cool ideas. - STARBEAST

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Cheers, mate. *Nods* For all you reviewers. They're deeply appreciated.

 

[Starbeast]

You are very welcomed Karn. Your avatar quacks me up.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Thankyou, lovely Starbeast!

 

[Mouse]

Thankies, Starbeast!

 

[Tywin]

Thanks SB!

 

[Perpetual Man]

I keep looking at the reviews and thinking 'How come no one has commented on mine yet, then remember I have not put the damn thing up.'

I'm not quite sure what it is, but it just doesn't feel right when I look at it.

 

[Luiglin]

Cheers for the review SB.

All the reviews are always appreciated.

 

[Bowler1]

Thank you, SB - a fair review as ever.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Johnnyjet, I want to read that book! Although, in a book, it would have to go a different direction. As a short story, it's quite self-contained. Open-beginninged, as it were, rather than open-ended.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

johnnyjet -- a story which carries a powerful emotional impact without any human characters

 

[johnnyjet]

Thanks for the nice comments, TDZ and Victoria! A possible book, hmm...

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

You are very welcomed Karn. Your avatar quacks me up.

You had to go there, SB?

I shall return.

Didn't want to miss anyone.

 

[Starbeast]

Thankyou, lovely Starbeast!

You are very welcomed Springs.

Thankies, Starbeast!

Yur weekimees mighty Mouse.

Thanks SB!

You're welcome Tywin.

I'm not quite sure what it is, but it just doesn't feel right when I look at it.

Take your time my friend. I went through many of my own drafts until I was satisfied with my tale. I may go for "horror", next time.

Cheers for the review SB. All the reviews are always appreciated.

You are immensely welcomed Luiglin.

Thank you, SB - a fair review as ever.

Your welcome Bowler1.

You had to go there, SB? The av is from one of my niece's favorite shows, Wonder Pets.

That's where I've seen that duck before! I remember that duck from DVD covers at the video store. It still makes me chuckle looking at it here.



Ratsy - Chaos and doom are inching closer for the fate of the mortals of Earth! But, there is a chance, a hopefull solution that will create a new beginning. Intense and powerful story of humanities future.

HoopyFrood - An unexpected and exceptional hellish tale. Delectably dark and uniquely written story that creeps upon the reader like a deadly dog-sized spider with hypnotic eyes. Truely horrifing.

Stormcrow - A very cool science fiction offering about aliens that live among us in secret. I love it. Wonderfully narrated, and even disturbing to learn about the others who share this planet with us.

TacticalLoco - Stellar, and paranoia evoking sci-fi entry that resonates with the classic awesomeness of those pulp fiction comics of yesteryear. I was enchanted by this marvelous story that made me want more!

Mr Orange - Truth can be more shocking than fantasy that is cloaked in mysterious explanations of extraterrestrial involvement. A spooky tale which excellently displays both sides of a warped coin.

Starbeast - Moe Crow, Hillbilly Joe and Stumpy vs the Beast From Outer Space. I was in a good mood when I wrote the the sixth and final draft of this tale. I even giggled when I typed and polished it.

BetaWolf - We step away from the stories of darkness and humor, to be entertained with an imaginative offering that does a fine job of using key words to hint at this month's photo. A pleasent and interesting tale that reads like the first chapter of a novel. Good stuff BetaWolf.

Johnnyjet - Cybernetically cool entry that is an amazing sci-fi treat. The narrator, a decaying droid, welcomes the visit of a crow that gives companionship, and release to it's tired existence. Well done sir.

 

[Phyrebrat]

Johnnyjet that's beautiful. I Really enjoyed reading it (I hate you )
