Discussion Thread -- December 2015 75-word Writing Challenge

I suspect your self interest is leaching through. Quick Bowler, shoot the wabbit.
 
Zzaaappp.

A rabbit look alike and close enough for me. Not that the recent voting has anything to do with me pulling out my RayoMatic and loading up. Heehee, its wabbit hunting time, here I come HB.

Note that wabbits are ok, but Bears with big sharp claws are let off (by bitter experience I might add, as Droflet now knows).

And for Warner Bros, going by many of their Looney Tunes titles.

Anyway, I'm not scared of your ray gun. It can only hit one target at once, and how can you tell which of my two images is the illusion? Maybe both of them are ... (plays Twilight Zone theme, using taut whiskers as strings.)
 
I'm sorry to report I only got as far as my short list, which I think still has 10 or so names on it. (It's on my home computer, I'm borrowing the internet at work to write this or I'd post it...)

When I do SteamPunk I always end up chanting to myself "More Steam, Less Fantasy" so I took the time to study Tesla, his life and his inventions. The more I read the more I thought, "this guy sounds like Thor," "Dude! He's not human, he's some kind of non-debauchery lighting god!"
Like a few others, the Spanish Inquisition skit by the Monty Python crew stuck in my head, the second one more than the first, I had to cut out the bit where Tesla was tied to a comfy chair and prodded with a stuffed animal to confess. At one point the stuffed animal he was being prodded with was a Pikachu, and that was too funny to leave out all together. So I did a quick research on dear little Pikachu and moved Tesla from the dining table to his lab where he could take notes on the little sparker. (Was running short on words so I'm hoping I left enough clues for Pikachu's appearance to have been spotted.) Let the thing sit for another day or two, incase any other improvements popped into my head (Still a hard thing for me to do, but what I posted I am much happier with than what I would have posted if I had just put up my first draft.)
 
Converygratulations Harebrain! A steal! You ol, Hutt, you.*

Well done to everyone who entered. Bit disappointing this month in terms of both turn out in stories and votes (can you see where I'm going? ;) ) and I like hope's mantra of 'more steam, less fantasy', it'll come in handy.

Thank you for the mentions for my reworking of the 3 Kings :) And...

Happy New Year

Erupting on the twenty-seventh of August 1883, Krakatoa was too late to make this story work - for the inversion of seasons with the inversion of the globe (obviously the sky globe on which the stars are mounted) it should have been much closer to june solstice. And it only managed to drop world temperatures one point two degrees - hardly enough for snow in Bali. And I plead guilty to utter anachronism with 'monokinied', from over a century later.

lovely imagery delivered via syllables that are a joy to combine. I'm sure the over all effect is going over my head, but that doesn't diminish my enjoyment of the scenes presented.

Yes, hope, I fear I'm a wordsmith, not a storyteller, and the rhythm and sonority of the words have to carry almost as much of the meaning as their order or individual significance.
