Discussion - June 2015 100 Word Anonymous Challenge #7

[Kerrybuchanan]

Go, Perp! You've given yourself a job for lie now

 

[Dan Jones]

So there I was, just watching the Godawful Test Match highlights, when something even more horrific* popped up! It's a second entry!




*You'll see when you read it

 

[Dan Jones]

And there's more! Two more fab entries have been smacked down, with authority. Good work, folks.

 

[Dan Jones]

I have to say, by the end of this month I'll have this copy and paste lark down to a tee. To see the latest demonstration of my technical computery wizardry in such areas, pop over to the Challenge thread where another story has just come in!

 

[Dan Jones]

No... it's another entry to this month's 100-worder.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

I'm liking that last one a lot.

But then I might say that about my own entry, to throw everyone off the scent, if I were unscrupulous.

Which I'm not.

But then, I would say that, wouldn't I?

 

[Dan Jones]

I did have a dastardly plan to write about 10 entries and submit them to cause the mother of all red herrings (a shoal of red herrings, I suppose), but my conscience told me that was wrong.

But did I listen?

 

[Juliana]

I did have a dastardly plan to write about 10 entries and submit them to cause the mother of all red herrings

No, I am Spartacus...

 

[Dan Jones]

No, I am Spartacus...

I'm Spartacus, and so's my entry!

On other, (slightly) more serious matters... we have yet another entry. You guys are prolific!

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Hah! Cool stories, everyone! That Spartacus writes a mean little story!

 

[Dan Jones]

He sure does. And he's clearly been taking time off from slave revolts, because he's just posted another one...

 

[Perpetual Man]

Mummy – The bond between mother and daughter is an intense one, but what happens when that bond is inverted.

Just a Taste – Drifting through life where everything is brought alive by one delicious sense, even execution is made almost beautiful.

So Pretty It Hurts – Perhaps the biggest truth here is that things that are really special to one, can be insignificant to another, while others just do the ink.


A Lepordin Can’t Change It’s Spots – No matter how great ones talent might be, there are somethings that cannot be escaped, just desserts being one of them.


Dissect Ions – An exhibit Ion of clever creat Ion and near genius, must have taken hours of deliberat Ion to work out this dissertat Ion.


None So Blind – Is there a lesson here? When the mundane search for the supernatural, do the supernatural know what they are?


Alliteration Killed a Nation – It’s amazing how far some people will go for revenge, or indeed to write a story. A lot of thought in another amazing anecdote.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

"Justice or the Law?" -- Often one struggles to balance rules and conscience.

"Mummy" -- How devastating it is to be betrayed by those closest to us.

"Just a Taste" -- The seduction of the senses can overcome our reason.

"So Pretty it Hurts" -- Symbols are powerful, almost magical things.

"A Lepordin Cannot Change its Spots" -- Those who abuse the legal system must beware Justice's sword.

"Dissect Ions" -- Words are dazzling toys, capable of being shaped in endless ways.

"None So Blind" -- Behind familiar phrases lurk profound truths.

"Alliteration Killed a Nation" -- Rituals can have a tremendous effect.

 

[Dan Jones]

There ain't none so blind as them what won't listen, as Del Boy once said.

So listen up! We've three more tales come in overnight, each of them with more conviction than a corrupt Texas prosecutor on meth.

So get reading!

 

[mosaix]

Some great stories so far. Pity mine isn't one of them.

Great work DG. Looks like you're enjoying yourself.

 

[Dan Jones]

Me? Never.

 

[Dan Jones]

Another entry has been delivered unto your humble host, and it's another barnstormer.

 

[Dan Jones]

...aaaand another great entry has landed on my virtual doorstep and is up for all to see.

Seriously, I'm flattered to be the gatekeeper for such excellent pieces of work.

Good pace being kept up as well, 13 stories in 3 and a half days. Let's hope it continues

 

[Perpetual Man]

Reality Bites – Oh the truth is out there, and it grows with every sighting, unfortunately the way in which it grows might not be to everyone’s liking.

The True Believer – They say that ignorance is bliss, that being the case sometime even the ignorant can protect those around them.

Beast of Friends – Amusing tale of a great love, in size if not heart, and how it may not change a couple but the whole world.


Eleven Down, One to Go – Twelve good men and true. Sometimes though in doing the right thing, perhaps one leaves themselves open to payback.


Same Love – a story of terrible prejudice and the consequences of said. Hopefully the executed will find a better place.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

"Reality Bites" -- One should be careful about the thing one seeks.

"The True Believer" -- Violence in the name of a cause can become its own evil excuse.

"Beast of Friends" -- The creatures of the imagination sometimes seem so real that they lead their own lives.

"Eleven Down, One to Go" -- The cycle of revenge is never ending, never justified.

"Same Love" -- Society's pressure to confirm can reach insane levels.
