And one more makes 15.

Devil Ether: Is this an extract from a larger story?


We're still waiting for the late hitters.
G'wan! You know you want to.

Don't forget, you've only got until SUNDAY evening.

You know how frustrating it is when you're writing a 100 word story, and you really-really wish you had 125...or even 110 words, cause you could add just that-much more zip to the piece?

I mean...I don't, never enter these things..................but do YOU know what I mean??

Can't remember, it's a while since I wrote one.

Nothing new this morning?

Come on folks. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Entries end at 19:59 GMT tomorrow evening.

And with the clocks going forward tonight you ain't got long.


(Yes yes I know.
The time is specified as GMT so the clocks going forward makes no difference really except it will actually seem later.
So my qualifier is a load of feldercarb.
But you had to think about it. Didn't you?)

 

[hopewrites]

Ach! My clock already went forward... Because I live east of the Sun and west of the Moon. I'm late!

Or I'm in.

Or I'm uninspired...

 

[mosaix]

I'd better get a move on...

 

[farntfar]

ch! My clock already went forward... Because I live east of the Sun and west of the Moon. I'm late!

I apologise for being so provincial.
I knew not everyone had daylight saving time (or whatever you like to call it) but I hadn't realised quite how varied the dates were for those who do.

But in the end that only proves my point.

 

[Cathbad]

But in the end that only proves my point.

Which was?

 

[hopewrites]

He said "SUBMIT NOW! SUBMIT TO MY WILL PUNY MORTALS!! OR FOREVER RUE THE CONSEQUENCES!!!!" and then he evil laughed.

 

[farntfar]

You know, that's pretty much how it was.
I didn't know that Hope was watching, but she's really got me down to a T.

So SUBMIT your entries before the deadline, puny mortals.
or there will be trouble! Mwe he he he!

Here, Hope. How come it does sound as scary when I do it for real?

(You have to bellow it with your soul. Like a thum.)

Once

I don’t know if you’ve realised yet upon but you’ve only got a bit over 13 hours left to a enter the 100 word challenge this month.

upon
Well I say only, but 13 hours is really plenty of time
In fact it’s 780 minutes so you could write one a word
every 7 minutes and 48 seconds.
Now that’s really as easy as falling time off a log.

And it’s Sunday to boot, so what else have you got to do in.
Ok so you may want to go to a church or mow the lawn or clean the car or something but that still leaves plenty of galaxy time.
You’ve got ages to write it and edit it again for spelling and to make it's a bit far more edgy in that time.
It could be science fiction, or fantasy or all sorts of far things;
but try to keep to the theme and genre or you can count out Chrispy and Parson’s vote for certain, because they’re away, really into that stuff.
Look. I’ve already given you the 1st 13 words if you want them, there and for free. I’m not charging you a penny although a bit of virtual cake would be lived nice. I’ve been feeling a bit down lately to be a honest. I don’t want to go into details but....

WHY DON’T YOU JUST SHUT UP AND LET THEM WRITE SOMETHING.

oh! OK

 

[hopewrites]

Goat!
Because it's supposed to be a western.

Yes, there lived and inter-dimensional goat who kept thinking the post was greener on the other side.
So he transmorgified into a sheep and was eaten for super.
Because fear.

The end.

 

[farntfar]

Gets my vote.

 

[hopewrites]

Thanks.
I wouldn't want to be hung out to dry by the jury.

 

[farntfar]

Well that's it, good people. Your time is up.
Anyone who wanted to enter and hasn't has missed the boat.

I will be posting a poll shortly, and you will have 3 days to vote.
Everyone please feel free to vote, whether you entered a story or not.

And, of course, you can all have a go at guessing the authors.

Please tell me if you want to do it blind, like last month, or whether you want an authors list to choose from.

The Poll is up.
