[Parson]

Parson eyes the ray gun cautiously. ---- I think I can get something up after Easter. Before was nearly unthinkable.

I would think that Easter is one of your busiest times, considering your calling, Parson.

Thank you Ms Silverwolf!

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Oh, that is a nice story, StilLearning, well done!

 

[TitaniumTi]

Thank you for the review, Victoria.

 

[Bob Senior]

HAPPY EASTER TO ONE AND ALL.

Parson, I'm glad that I'm not the one to tell the little kids about the Easter bunny, be gentle.

Bob

 

[Khayos]

Does any one else find it off putting when a large smiley face threatens you with a Ray gun...

I have a theory that it is a complex conspiracy designed to distract us and forget what we're doing.

"Look at my yellow face, look into my eyes, forget about the ray gun, you are getting sleeeeeepy...." *Ray gun whirs*

"Look at my yellow face, look into my eyes, forget about the ray gun, you are getting sleeeeeepy...." *Ray gun whirs*

It's as disturbing as Cartoonhead, threatening you with a knife...

 

[Juliana]

Ben, truly the stuff of nightmares! 'What's he looking at? Who's he looking at? Is it me? Nooooooooo!'

 

[BenSt]

Ideal... check it out online, amazing show...

[Parson]

I would think that Easter is one of your busiest times, considering your calling, Parson.

It is always on my mind and more importantly in my heart.

------- I have a rough draft of a story. I should be able to post soon.

 

[Bowler1]

It is always on my mind and more importantly in my heart.

Despite being generally very keen to zap all sundry at the slightest reason (hence my self appointed role in the monthly competitions), I do hesitate when it comes to a man of the cloth. More so when it's Parson, who seems to be very nice. So I'm glad to hear he will be posting. Just remember to vote too Parson buddy, but because your so nice, I'd only zap you a little if you forget to vote.

Indeed, such an innocent smiley face and a mask for deep dark thoughts. Usually involving RAY GUNS, but not always.

 

[Starbeast]

I've returned after battling a computer virus that crept in through my email. But the war was won by using my Tesla 2000 Ray Gun.

Zap zap zap! Ka-BOOOM! Hah! Sneaky, salty, greasey, smelly, spam creature.

It's all in the reflexes and gunslinging talent.

Ok, it was the antivirus program that alerted and erased the attacker. All is working well now. Only took about eight freakn' hours. So, no play time here.

Alright let's get back on track.

Starbeast thank you for the kind and glowing review.

You're very welcome Azzagorn. Keep em' flying.

Thank you Victoria and Starbeast.
Starbeast, you made my day, most of my story had to be ended up in the wastebasket.

I could not get it to work no matter how hard I tried (and I tried), so I finally cut out half of my story and entered it. If you want more I shall have to recover the trash.

Thank you again, much appreciated. Bob

You're immensely welcome Bob. And don't worry about dumpster-diving. However, you can post the entire tale if you want to after the contest is over.

I think we've all dreaded editing heavily on our stories. I had to do that with my current one too. I wanted more in it.

Well, you did do a terrific job of trimming it down. Way to go Bob.

Afraid I probably wont be joining in with the challenges this month, the time I get to write needs to be on planned submissions, it's been a really hectic month already and we are only half way through :S

You'll be missed Quellist. Hopefully we'll see you on the next one.

But until then. Blast those lasers! Pew pew, pew pew!

StillLearning - In this fine entry, we begin with a messge in an envelpoe (nice touch), but the recipient shares no love from the wirter. Ouch! A painful drama that grips you like a dragon within it's talons, then crushes the life out of you. Well wriiten and cool imagery.

><​

A few days left, and there are so many members not here. I suppose they're very busy...or dodging the taxman. I was good about doing my taxes early this year, and the DMV.

Yeesh, I really dislike waiting for hours for my number to be called. Thank God I have a game to play on my cell phone, as I sat between two very warm bodies and sweated. Therefore my photo once again looks awful, but who cares. Next time I'll make a face, and really have a picture that will strike up a conversation (with someone checking my id - hopefully not a cop).

I do get to put a "safe driver" sticker on my license though. Whoop-dee-doo. Like that's going to bring the cost of paying for a new license, or vehicle sticker, or city sticker. ZOOOM! There goes my tax return.

 

[Bowler1]

I suppose they're very busy...or dodging the taxman.

I'd never dream of dodging the taxman....


The only beings that seem to be immune from my RAY GUNS is the Taxman. Scary and worrying that.


I've posted. I couldn't resist, what can I say.

 

[Juliana]

*reads Bowler's entry*
*shakes head*

Oh Bowler...

(Made my morning!)

 

[Bowler1]

*reads Bowler's entry*
*shakes head*

Oh Bowler...

(Made my morning!)

That makes it all worth while then. The smiley face is hoping to get a few smiles on faces and spread some joy in the world.


Votes might be a different prospect, but this month at least, I won't be surprised not to get any.

 

[A. Fare Wells]

A. Fare Well - First of all, nice to meet you. And second, you've crafted an astonishing tale that is well written and a far-out drama. I was blown away by it's high octane power, your entry just really took me by complete surprise. Intense and fierce drama. Wow.

You're too kind. Nice to meet you, too.

 

[Parson]

Well I've managed to dodge Bowler1's ray guns. I've posted, and as usual I've taken a very different angle to the challenge. I suppose that comes from not being a "real" writer.

I read through the posts and I was impressed by how much poetry and humor there was. And not a few "punks" in the stories.

BobSr. --- there were no Easter Bunnies at church, but the Parson did hand out chocolate crosses to the boys and girls at the children's sermon.

 

[Culhwch]

Gah, the 23rd always comes around too fast.
