Wish I did. Load of tropes keep popping into my head!

Hmm... that actually sounds like a good thing!

 

[Ashleyne]

Yay! We have our first two stories.

The Last Night Boat utilises a great British band to kick things off, with a surprising bang.

Transcription of the Patient's Statement invites us to ponder the meaning of humanity.

 

[Ashleyne]

Two more stories have found their way into my inbox and have, hence, been posted.

Oops! That Was a Mistake - Being away from a stable home can create an unstable mind.

Katy - Medical intervention doesn't always go as planned.

"The Last Night Boat" -- A true farewell concert.

"Transcription of the Patient's Statement" -- I think therefore I am . . . what?

"Oops! That Was a Mistake" -- The most dangerous part of the vehicle is the loose nut behind the wheel.

"Katy" -- Whistle while you (do your dirty) work.

A new trio of fictitious accounts have been thrust into the competition.



Aboard the Couloir Noir - Things hiding in the shadows can drive a person mad.


A good, old-fashioned end - Obsession with acquiring knowledge can make people do irrational things.


Abandoned - White lies create comfort in desolate times.

 

[Danny McG]

A good, old-fashioned end:-
I like how he talks like Clouseau

 

[Ashleyne]

Another story, making a total of 8 so far. I think we can times it by ten. Let's aim for 80 stories.

Only a Moment - If you spend your life out of phase with the rest of humanity, you gain no motivation to fit in.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Aboard the Couloir Noir -- I have met the enemy, and he is me.

A good, old-fashioned end -- They blinded us with science.

Abandoned -- The sins of the ancestors are visited upon the descendants.

Only a Moment -- Too much time on my hands.

 

[Ashleyne]

Dancing with the Universe - The path to enlightenment can deteriorate one's humanity.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Let's aim for 80 stories.

Now that sounds like madness.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Dancing with the Universe -- When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.
