DISCUSSION -- MAY 2017 75-word Writing Challenge

[TitaniumTi]

Thank you for the review, Victoria.

 

[Shyrka]

We’ll Always Have Moscow, @reiver33 – Silvered teeth and silver tongues clash as two lovers (and rivals) finally put their differences to (eternal) rest.

 

[Parson]

@reiver33 ---- Brings us to the moment when mutual respect and admiration must be put aside for the end game. But the two worthy adversaries who respect each other and perhaps a bit more, will remember the time and agree that "We'll Always Have Moscow."

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

reiver33 -- The thin line between love and hate is illuminated in this elegant story.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Lumens -- This thoughtful tale reminds us that this too shall pass away.

 

[Lumens]

Thank you Victoria.

 

[Parson]

@Lumens .... Puts us in mind of T.S. Elliot "This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but with a whimper," obviously "To No End" worth mentioning.

 

[Lumens]

Thank you kindly Parson.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Submitted nice and early in case I forget as I am away 11th - 25th. When will voting end?

Is there a postal ballot?

Voting is always from the 23rd to the 28th, 11:59 GMT on both ends. You'll have time!

 

[Danny McG]

Not even a whimper.....

What big words one reads in this tale

Zephyrous!
Emmùsed!

(This is an awesome site for expanding your vocabulary)

 

[Parson]

Assuming that Emmusèd equals something like bemused..... (Google did not even know the word, nor did it translate.)

@chrispenycate .... shows us a Central Park in Manhattan as it collides with an elfin world bringing the Fantasy world to sudden end with "Not Even a Whisper."

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

chrispenycate -- This intricately crafted poem manages to make the ordinary seem fantastic and the fantastic seem real.

I lost my draft.

Look under the sofa cushions. Most lost things end up there.

 

[Hugh]

Can someone please remind me/ confirm for me:

Contractions

Am I right that words such as:

They'll

I'd

Didn't

count as one word each and not two?

Many thanks

They always have as far as I know.

They always have as far as I know.

Many thanks indeed.

That gets it down to 94.

Ashleyne -- The cyclic structure of this tale of sacrifice and desperation show s how some things cannot be escaped.

 

[Parson]

@Ashleyne .... Even in a mystical world with a mother who can and will give her life for her child, the fates might be unkind and "I can't! I won't" stops can and will in their tracks.


(If this challenge had been S.F. I would have seen this as brilliant explanation of a time loop.)
