Discussion thread -- March 2017 75-word Writing Challenge

[nixie]

I posted, to save TDZ coming and finding me, if she has to come looking a second time she may take extreme measures.

Never noticed the post sharing, who let the gremlins out?

Never seen that before. Weird!

Is this some sort of secret handshake club because I can't see no sharing option.

 

[nixie]

Not a sharing option but if you look at this month challenge we have 2 entries numbered 32.

I better go check nobody has let those pesky fairies out the cupboard in the cracked pot.

Aliens... nuff said.

Apologies - didn't mean for my first post to cause a glitch in the matrix.

Best Wishes,

Don't apologise. It's funny.

 

[ratsy]

Count me in. I had to wait until Dusty posted of course. It has become a sick game of chicken...at least for me

 

[Parson]

@TheDustyZebra .... is showing us a world where the CEO at work hasn't a clue, nor a lifeline. "When you Assume" you know it all and don't know the little people your doom is sure.

@ratsy .... is showing a working environment which is filled with death and despair; to say the least it leaves "Scars."


?? Have the fairies, gremlins, aliens, and or whatever else been rounded up and guarded for another day?

 

[Mr Orange]

it ain't pretty, but i got in

 

[Parson]

@Mr Orange .... is offering us a humorous look at work and working it. Those Amexicanadians can't understand proper English so they are "Working it on New Britain (Epsilon 456-K)"

 

[hopewrites]

Twerking hahaha!

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

TheDustyZebra -- Managers rise to the level of their incompetence.

ratsy -- Weapons change, but not the souls of those who must use them.

Mr Orange -- Two nations separated by a common language.

 

[Ursa major]

I'm in early. Well, early-ish.

My thanks to Shyrka for the (unintended) inspiration. (It's either do that, or admit that a bad don made me do it....)

 

[Parson]

@Vaz .... is taking us to a place where industry meets infantry. What can you say, the work is just "A Bit of Patchwork."

@The Judge .... is the head Chef and head Poinsoner in the service of the King. A pair of titles gained with just a bit of finesse. "What a Piece of Work" it was.

@Andrew Lambert .... shows us the elegance of a shape-shifter and the work of a man eating carnivore. The combination of which is better left "Untitled."

@Ursa major .... is letting us sneak a peak at how those serial books will be written. Clearly we will all die laughing at the puns as we tell "Nancy Drew to Eat Your Central Processor Out."

 

[Ursa major]

I'm sure something will be dying....

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Vaz -- Mercenaries come in different kinds.

The Judge -- Too many cooks spoil each other.

Andrew Lambert -- Horror is only skin deep.

Ursa major -- Might makes write.

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Phyrebrat -- What goes around comes around.

Aine -- It's always the last one that gets you.

__________________________________________________________

My vote goes to ratsy for the story's emotional power.

 

[Parson]

@Phyrebrat .... shows us a life's work that leads to stark terror and something ominous, all preceded by "Die Glocke."

@Aine .... brings us into a world of space travel and time dilation, meaning that a life's work can end when your still young with "One Last Job."
