DISCUSSION -- January 2015 300-word Writing Challenge (#16)

[J.L. Borstlap]

A Midsummer Night's Fun -(@Luiglin ) Strange, the world is captivating making you feel like you are apart of it. Ones mind can decide by itself what part of the spectrum the recorders are. Are they the people watching the humans, or the humans watching the people. Or are they even humans? Gnomes? Animals? Good story.

From the Son comes the Dark - (@ratsy ) A moment in a kids life where the only thing really able to prove his insanity, is in his case the death of his people. How maddening it must have been to know your people find you insane, don't believe you because they cant see what you see. Only thing I wonder is if he never saw them in the first place, would the same have happened, or would he have died with his family?

Despatch Note - (@farntfar ) Feelings people have daily, feelings that might take over ones life, like it did in the characters life. Seeing the image used as inspiration we know now the man got what he wished for. Be careful what you wish for.

 

[Luiglin]

That was hard. I wanted 3000 words, and was already up near 500 before I checked, and that was with half the story still to go. Loved the image.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Anne, your story was brilliant. The end made me choke on my cocoa!

 

[Anne Martin]

Sorry about the cocoa Kerry. I spent hours thinking about the last sentence, knowing I could only use a few words. Thanks.
